Join Robert Treharne to learn more about enhancing student engagement. 
 
Presenter: Robert Treharne, Lecturer and Co-Founder of FizzyNewt

Join us for an engaging session where Robert Treharne, a dedicated educator and co-founder of FizzyNewt, will share practical strategies for enhancing student engagement in the classroom. This webinar will provide valuable insights and tools to help educators foster a more interactive and dynamic learning environment.In this session, Robert will cover:

Learn about the benefits of incorporating a micro-feedback system that allows students to provide regular anonymous feedback on sessions. This strategy helps educators understand student needs and improve the quality of their teaching in real-time.

Explore how FizzyNewt’s innovative features can transform the routine task of taking attendance into a gamified experience. By fostering student responsibility and autonomy, this approach can lead to an improvement in student engagement and satisfaction.

Robert will also demonstrate the various features of FizzyNewt, showing how it can reduce administrative burdens and empower students to take control of their own attendance, while preventing them from "cheating" the system.
