To help develop the quality of Teaching and Learning across the curriculum, we have begun introducing an iPad app of the month.

I have found Pic Collage particularly useful for creating posters. It gives a professional look and it is remarkably easy for the children to pick up.

It’s also great for making storyboards in Literacy work as the template is already there and the children can easily add images from the internet and edit them.
