You may have met Engagelive before. It began life as Superhighway Patrol and later became known as Net Detectives. 

If your class has never taken part in an Engagelive activity then take the plunge and discover for yourself that it is a unique, valuable and exciting experience. You will find that your class will really enjoy using the technology that they normally associate with play and socialising. Once your children have logged into the event they can work at their own pace and they will receive individual help from the ‘control room.’

Engagelive activities take place on specific dates and times and you will easily find a session that fits in with your timetable. Each activity usually lasts ABOUT 60 minutes. During the session children working in a small team will take on a role of responsibility and manage an unfolding scenario which develops through a series of messages sent at roughly five minute intervals. Each message gives a little more information as the story unfolds. The messages are in a written format sometimes complimented by audio files, short movie clips or pictures.

What makes Engagelive so valuable is that during the activity your children can send questions or suggestions to the control room via the on-site messaging system which is staffed by relevant community professionals* for the particular activity. This means your children are working with real people from whom they gain insights into various aspects of the community and build positive attitudes. All messaging is secure and recorded.

*Community professionals and other control room staff are all ‘CRB checked’ prior to being allowed to participate in an activity.

If you think you might like to try this out then all you have to do is sign up. After you have been verified (normally takes one working day) then you can select an activity to take part in. This is how easy it is!
