Hornsea School and Language College have embedded realsmart into the “school’s way of life”. Whether it’s using rcast to keep Media production diaries, or rcast to engage difficult to reach students. With little training, they have seen how realsmart can have a massive impact on both students and teachers. Click the thumb nails below to hear them tell you how they use realsmart.

I’ve been using realsmart with my GCSE year 10 PE group. I’ve been using it to create a dialogue with my students using rcast as a blog. I’ve extended that recently by uploading exam papers – which has proved really effective. Where is it working for me? I think its enabling me to engage those difficult to reach, C/D borderline boys -particularly with their homework. They’re now the first to do their homework – they’re doing at all sorts of crazy times – and they’re starting to engage with the process. So I think its had a massive impact.” Steve Ostler – Deputy Head (PE)

“I’m using rweb to collate a portfolio of evidence for the IAG Gold Standard with the local authority. I wanted a website so I could upload all of the evidence that we have. I decided to use rweb because it’s a very quick and very simple way of creating a website – just a case of dragging and dropping the pages that you want to create. By using rweb I can then control who has access to these documents (some of them are very sensitive in nature) namely myself, the staff from the school, and the local authority adviser who I’m working with to achieve the Gold Standard. It’s a really really simple and easy way of collating the information that we need, and then people can access it remotely.” Anthony Bennett – Assistant Head (Teaching & Learning)

“We’re using realsmart quite a lot in our particuliar area because the students are  responding to it really well, and it’s making life quite a bit easier in terms of collecting assessment evidence and things like that.” John Hart – e-learning co-ordinator (Music & Diploma)
