There, teachers learnt all about new tips, tricks, apps, add-ons, and more - to help push their pedagogy in the classroom. Back on site at Greenside, our Digital Leaders gathered at the radio equipment, hit the record button, and video-called in to Mr Tilden, the TEFAT audience, and Googler Dean Stokes.
