EYTalking @EYTalking14h Good evening & welcome to #EYTalking - tonight all about Learning Journals!

Susan McGhee @SusanMcGhee12313h Hi @EYTalking we are rolling out @learningjournal across all nurseries @BertramNG they are a massive hit with parents, staff & regulators

Sarah Steel @nurserysarah12h @SusanMcGhee123 @EYTalking @learningjournal @BertramNG We're trialling Tapestry eLJs at the mo, with a view to rolling out company wide

Susan McGhee @SusanMcGhee12312h @nurserysarah @eytalking @bertramng the ones we have introduced from @learningjournal are a huge hit, great response from parents & staff

Sarah Steel @nurserysarah12h @SusanMcGhee123 @eytalking @bertramng @learningjournal Yup, definitely the way forward for many reasons, streamlining and parent engagement

Lorna Walter @LornaWalter13h #EYTalking with iPads etc will chn & parents/carers have easy access to input and reflect on the content?

EYTalking @EYTalking13h @LornaWalter Good point, seen children use ipads & parents sent emails and comment via online. #EYTalking

Nicola Fitzpatrick @blamehound13h @EYTalking Some colleagues on US use Facebook really well for LJ's and parental contribution- they post own pics etc #eytalking

EYTalking @EYTalking13h @blamehound I have seen @facebook @Pinterest used for sharing photographs with parents. #EYTalking

Nicola Fitzpatrick @blamehound13h @EYTalking I love this idea am going to explore further- like the variety of ways to allow parental input #eytalking

EYTalking @EYTalking13h @blamehound Yep, all about embracing e-communication. Always different ways of connecting with parents. #EYTalking

EYTalking @EYTalking13h REMINDER: Assessment should not entail prolonged breaks from children, nor require excessive paperwork EYFS Page 10 #EYTalking

EYTalking @EYTalking13h @Sarah_L_Vickery @GeoffBilling @blamehound e-recording seems the way to go. Parents can access & easier for staff. #EYTalking
