Teaching Teachers to Kick Ass

Here's a picture of us at the Question Writer stand at The Education Show in Birmingham earlier this month. You'll see in the picture, we've got the program itself running - at first we were showing teachers the flash quizzes that we made with Question Writer. I thought it would be a good idea to demonstrate a quiz and then explain that our software could be used to make quizzes. This was a mistake!

The message was too complicated, and people were leaving with the idea that we were selling educational content. So, instead of showing them how cool our quizzes were, we started to get the teachers to use it themselves. Soon they were kicking asstm. The teachers were all able to create a question in under 60 seconds and they were delighted with their results. They saw a small amount of learning and effort going in, and a professional flash question, with full feedback coming out. Their reaction was to tug at their friend/partners/colleague's sleeve to drag them over and show them what they made.
