BT and Microsoft SEND Festivals
Our recent SEND Festivals focussed on the tools available from Microsoft and Windows 10 devices that can help to enhance learning outcomes for students with SEND. In particular - Minecraft Education, OneNote’s Learning Tools, and 3D Paint. These tools helped students to improve their instructional writing and social engagement, as well as enabling tactile interaction with touchscreen Windows 10 devices.
‘Minecraft was extremely popular for the students with ADHD and emotional disabilities. One teacher even said it’s the first time they’ve seen a specific student sit still and focus on one activity consistently for 30 minutes.’
