Brilliant digital learning in Year 1! 💻 Penguin Class used their Chromebooks to drag words into complete sentences before recording their voices to read them aloud to their teacher. Such a fantastic way to develop early literacy & oracy skills! 🗣️✨ @LEOacademies @LEOcomputing

🤖 📚 Pedagogy first. Technology second.
Our very own @JulaanGovier took the stage at the @GoogleForEdu Leaders Series in London to showcase how @LEOacademies is using @Gemini_Notebook to transform teaching & learning.
From deeper literary analysis to inclusive, multimodal learning, our Year 5 & 6 pupils are using AI to think deeper, ask better questions and take greater ownership of their learning - all within a safe, teacher-vetted “Walled Garden”.
Proud to share the #WeAreLEO story! 🦁

🏫 Year 6 pupils stepped straight into Finnish school life! From joint lessons & group presentations to assemblies, our pupils learned side-by-side with their new Finnish friends - and even tried Floorball in PE & traditional Finnish dancing! 🏒💃

🌲 Living the Finnish way: 100% connecting with nature!
Our learners experienced the famous Kuusijärvi smoke sauna & lake, explored Senate Square, learned about icebreakers, and cheered at a local ice hockey derby between Jokerit & HIFK.

✨ "Reimagining the learning space to meet every child's needs." ✨
What happens when classroom furniture actually adapts to the lesson? 🎨📚
Our furniture pilot at @LawfordOf proved that flexible, easily stackable tables allow children to reconfigure their classroom mid-lesson, moving smoothly from quiet individual tasks to collaborative group work!
Why it matters:
1️⃣ Complete Inclusion: Meets the needs of left/right-handed learners and wheelchair users alike.
2️⃣ Improved Safety: Reduces chair-rocking and keeps focus where it belongs.
3️⃣ Measurable Impact: Better focus directly supports higher pupil attainment.

Swipe for 3 ways to use Gemini for Education to refresh course modules, discover new research, and format plans in Docs. Want more tips like these? Check out the Google AI Educator Series: goo.gle/GES-18
ALT Graphic title reading: "3 ways faculty can prep for a new term with Gemini."
ALT Tip 01: Revamp your curriculum with a brainstorm partner. Ask Gemini to break down course outlines into digestible seasonal themes and prompt Gemini to explore recent and relevant topical resources to keep weekly units fresh.
ALT Tip 02: Expand your reading list with contemporary sources. Toggle on Deep Research to scan recent open-access papers and case studies, and filter recommendations by sub-field, academic level, or year.
ALT Tip 03: Format your syllabus seamlessly in Docs. Use Gemini in Docs to refine layout and structure, and draft boilerplate sections like office hours or academic integrity policies.
