In episode 2 of the TTS Talking Teachers’ podcast, Mark Steed is joined by two members of Kellet School in Hong Kong - Andy Tallet, Digital Technology Lead, and Liam Murphy, Innovation Lead. 

Andy and Liam explain how you can drive forward the computational skills learned in Key Stage 1 and integrate technology with the curriculum.  

The team passionately dispels the myth that you need a certain level of knowledge to be able to bring technology into the classroom. Andy and Liam explain how tutorials and social media have made it easy for teachers to develop their skills in this area and what resources and tools are available to support them. They encourage teachers to take the risk, not be scared and give it a go!
