creating their own eLearning videos, relevant to their class and subject of expertise.

Due to the success of the ‘ICT Breakfast Club’, senior management have allocated
more time for staff training in this area. I also sat down with our school website

hosting company to discuss the website design and how it will accommodate future

eLearning videos and resources.
