Geography teacher Seamus Baldrick, from Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana discusses how technology can be used to support revision. He begins by facilitating student self-correction of cloze test homework using presentation software, e.g. PowerPoint. He prepared a revision video in advance using the ShowMe iPad app, which is based on the Irish curriculum and targeted at the needs of his students. After viewing the video, students complete a Socrative quiz in class, which provides them with immediate feedback after each question. Seamus can identify which topics are still problematic and/or which students require additional support. After class, Seamus shares the revision video, other resources and assignments using Google Classroom, a virtual learning environment, which enables to access class material at home.
