Scanning Pens Pilot program – Get booked in for September!
Scanning Pens is currently running an amazing pilot program for the Autumn Term 2024 and is looking for schools who would like to participate from September.
If your school chooses to take part, they will be sent 2 x ‘Reader Pen 2’ devices. This is only for schools that do not currently have any of the new Reader pens.
The pens will be sent on a trial basis, and participating schools will trial them free for 60 days. This will give schools a chance to try them with many students to see the impact they can have.
As part of the trial, the SENCo from each school taking up the offer will need to attend 2 x training sessions, these will be at a convenient time for the schools so they can all attend at once.
- Session 1 – With Neil (Business Development Manager – Independent & Special Schools) going through the features of the pens.
- Session 2 – With Julia (Global Education Manager) About implementation.
