“Just get them outside – get them giggling and laughing…” Not the usual request we get from head teachers for a Tagtiv8 CPD Training Day. But hey, Chris Dyson is not your usual head teacher. Neither is his school – Parklands Primary School in Leeds. The presentation slides were put to one side and we took the training beyond the …
How excited are Team Tagtiv8? We are beyond giddy! Our ‘Move & Learn Maths’ resources have been so successful, they sold out last term. Cue much deliberation as to the new look, content and sustainability. Why did we decide to change the original design? We listened to teachers and more importantly, the children. We also took advice from those wonderful …
How many conferences and events have been lost to lockdown during Covid-19? At the start of the year, we were really looking forward to attending events in the UK and abroad – the most anticipated being the Basque country and Zagreb. Why do we enjoy these events? Obviously, there are the opportunities to: travel and immerse ourselves in different cultures …
As schools look towards re-opening more widely, we have been investigating ways to help teachers and children with physical and social distancing.

This week we were working with a school in London, when we heard an adult say, “What’s the point of playing with Maths?” Rather than reply, we waited to watch her respond to a Tagtiv8 session, knowing full well the impact in advance. Cue a 180 degree about turn: “Now I get it – it’s fun, it’s active and it’s …
This week, we had a long overdue catch up call with MOKI – the team committed to Moving Kids! Why? Like Chris Dyson, Headteacher at Parklands Primary School in Leeds, we were buzzing like the proverbial fridge, following the pilot combining tags and trackers. Check out the smiles of these incentivised kids… The call with MOKI nudged us back to …
Christmas is officially over! How do we know? The adverts for holidays in 2020 are already upon us – in abundance! One advert in particular took us back to a particular holiday in Greece – when we visited the site of the first modern Olympics in Athens. From UK to Greece and Back Panathenaic Stadium tour over, we unpacked some …
One week on from Helsinki Education Week and the HundrED Summit and Tagtiv8 are still buzzing! Why? It’s all about people – with connections between creative ideas and innovations. It’s sometimes hard to explain the HundrED ethos and community, but we think Derek Newton has summed it up brilliantly in this Forbes magazine article. There were so many highlights: Discovering …
