Magic Studio

“Repurpose, Create, Share” was a Becta funded and NEN supported project that gave over 40 English secondary schools the opportunity to exploit online digital resources to create more interactive and engaging materials for teaching and learning at Key Stages 3 and 4. 

At Magic Studio, we were proud to have supported this programme over the past year.  A number of schools elected to use Magic Studio to build, create and share interactive learning resources and we are now making these available on a special area of our Network.  These can be found in the Repurpose, Create, Share channel at http://repurposeprojects.magicstudio.co.uk/.

Currently, we are showcasing over 300 resources developed by King Charles I school in Kidderminster – here’s an example:

Pretty soon, there will be over 1000 resources available from all the schools that used Magic Studio, including some fantastic resources from Allerton Grange School in Leeds.

What’s most exciting about the projects is that all the resources were created by teachers and students, with very little technical knowledge required – and all through a web browser.  The feedback was phenomenal – with the students and teachers working together, they achieved high levels of knowledge transfer, mutual respect and understanding.  The process of building the resources proved invaluable in helping to redefine teacher-pupil relationships and proved that the construction of the resources themselves is where the majority of learning occurs.

All of the resources built using Magic Studio are now available for any school to use … or to repurpose, create and share themselves!
