Affordable Innovation in Education:

Kevin Chatten’s Journey at The Garibaldi School (Whole School - 20/11/2024)

Kevin Chatten, Head of Computer Science and Virtual Learning at Garibaldi School in Nottingham, recently spoke with LessonUp in an exclusive interview about digital innovation and increasing student engagement. Having more than 20 years of experience in education, Kevin has witnessed the opportunities that come with teaching a diverse group of students.

In the interview, Kevin highlighted how affordable and accessible digital tools have transformed his teaching approach. After discovering LessonUp during a networking session, he found it to be the perfect fit for creating engaging and interactive lessons. The platform's affordability and ease of use have been game-changers, allowing Kevin to shift from traditional teaching methods to a more dynamic, student-centred approach:

“What struck me was its ability to drive classroom engagement. It wasn’t just another slideshow tool; it brought the lesson to life. Students went from passive spectators to active participants.”

Kevin’s insights shed light on the practical advantages of using a digital platform, particularly its ability to promote inclusivity and engagement in the classroom.
