Hi Ronan,
it is crazy that in this day and age, some schools are only able to obtain decent Wi-Fi in the past year. This is a clear example of the lack of investment from Department in our schools. It is great to hear that you and your colleagues were able to get everything up and running in such a short period of time. Yes, I agree, using ME successfully in class requires the teacher having a lot of experience using it. They do not need to be experts but a considerable amount of CPD is required. In our staff, we have a number of teachers who have taken part in CPD in ME and they are using it now in their classrooms, without this CPD these teachers might not have considered using ME before. I would advice you to take small steps with introducing ME to your staff. It can be very overbearing as there is so much to learn with it. Perhaps carrying out a shared project with another class teacher who is interested in using it would be a good start.
