    58. Think, Remember, Create - How can Video inspire deeper thinking and more secure learning?

    Join Ian and Andrew as they discuss how to turn the everyday screen into a launchpad for curiosity. What starts as a sound-off video - looping as children enter the classroom - becomes a conversation starter, a memory hook, and the spark for deeper investigations. Listen as they reveal how video is more than footage: it’s a text packed with visuals, narration, and cues that teachers can mine to assess, challenge, and inspire. Through practical examples—silent loops to prime discussion, embedded quizzes for real-time formative checks, and video-driven scaffolds for hands-on lessons—they show how to move learners from recognition to real understanding. Whether you teach habitats, art styles, or scientific processes, this episode unfolds a clear, human story about using digital video to build context, surface prior knowledge, and free classroom time for problem solving and creativity. Consider how a single clip can change the way students think, remember, and create.

    51. Here we go again! - How can we use digital tools to re-engage children after a break from the classroom?

    We all know that holiday times and breaks from school routines can have an impact on children's learning. Learning loss can occur quite quickly when children are away from the day to day classroom environment, especially after holidays. In this episode, Ian and Andrew discuss ways in which digital resources can help bring children back into the routines of learning, especially how they can help us to identify and address any gaps on an individual level.
