Next steps on our integration of Chromebooks into 

Folkestone Academy lessons.

How do you use Chromebooks in your subject?

Suggested ways of incorporating Chromebooks into lessons 

Using Bromcom

From September we will use Bromcom to run daily equipment checks to hold pupils accountable for ensuring they are in appropriate uniform and have their Chromebooks.

We will trial this system in a few weeks. 

We are using Bromcom directly as it is our method of communicating with parents through MCAS.

How would using practice sets be more beneficial than a traditional worksheet from the teacher's perspective?

Do you think this would have an impact on pupil motivation and engagement? Why?

New IT System

Rob and Sean have now implemented a new IT tracking system, and next week we will be handing out replacement devices to any child who does not have a device so that all will have one and a new loan bank has been created.

New behaviour systems will be put in place so pupils who continually damage or are negligent with their devices will be charged.

New Bromcom behaviour events will be created to enable the IT to better communicate with pastoral teams and automatically with parent emails.

Why do we set homework on Bromcom?

1. William likes it
2. It is how we monitor who is setting homework
3. It is how we communicate tasks with parents
4. Cerys likes to make spreadsheets
