What would you do with one extra hour a day? This was the challenge presented to the teachers at All Hallows Prep School in Somerset, UK. Under the guidance of their leadership, educators were tasked with saving one hour a day with Lumio.
Richard Kirby, the deputy head at All Hallows Prep, was at the forefront of this initiative. With a vision to blend technology seamlessly into the classroom, Mr. Kirby saw Lumio as the perfect solution. His goal was twofold: save time for teachers and boost student engagement. The existing use of SMART Notebook at the school provided a solid foundation for this transition as teachers were able to seamlessly import their existing content into Lumio and then easily add interactive elements.
As teachers migrated their materials into Lumio, they quickly discovered its rich library of pre-made resources and interactive tools. The platform’s user-friendly interface allowed them to incorporate game-based learning activities and engaging elements into their lessons with minimal effort. The ease of use meant that what would have taken hours of manual creation was accomplished in a fraction of the time.
Mr. Kirby was particularly excited about Lumio’s potential to enhance student engagement. He observed that not only were teachers saving significant amounts of time, but they were also able to craft lessons that truly resonated with their students.
“The move to Lumio was the real added bonus because Lumio allows us to bring all of our old SMART Notebook files across, add in the new features to Lumio and with our step forward into one-to-one devices we could see the opportunities there were for the children in the future when the teachers were using Lumio to deliver those lessons.” says Mr. Kirby.
Students were visibly more enthusiastic, actively participating and frequently asking for more interactive content. The switch to Lumio also facilitated a smoother transition to one-to-one devices, a move that Mr. Kirby had envisioned as essential for modernizing the learning environment.
Teachers discovered that Lumio’s streamlined workflow and extensive resources allowed them to spend less time on lesson preparation and more time interacting with their students. This shift was not just about saving time; it was about enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. Lessons became more dynamic and interactive, leading to heightened student involvement and better learning outcomes.
This initiative demonstrated a significant win for both educators and students at All Hallows Prep. The integration of Lumio had far-reaching benefits: it optimized teachers’ workflows, enriched lesson content, and, most importantly, fostered a more engaging learning environment.
The joy and excitement in the classrooms at All Hallows Prep are evident, as students eagerly participate in lessons that are now more interactive and enjoyable. By embracing Lumio, teachers are not only meeting their goal of saving time but also building fun, engaging connections with their students.
