SLN2 User Quote"It gave them a focus thatthey could relate to becausethey are familiar with socialmedia sites and this wassimilar and didn't feelthreatening to the students"Caroline Stanley – EnglishTeacherSLN2

Great ideas...Literacy lessons at Belgrave have recently been much improved through the introduction of poetry blogging. Pupils work on specific poems and thenrespond with their own comments and to that of others. The opportunity for recorded collaboration in this way both in and outside of the classroom extends learning opportunities for pupils"I find it easier to be able to send Microsoft

PowerPoints to my teacher online. It saves a lot of time and hassle saving to USB pens and taking into school.""It is great to be able to complete work on the Learning Platform. I can't lose anything. In the past I lost worksheets and now this isn't possible.""I can use SLN2 to save work in my files.""Can send to teacher – with a question and ask for help whilst doing homework.""It makes it more like your own space for doing homework.""My mum has been able to see my work."Year 9 Pupil
