It started with a training session focused on iPad usage in schools and led to the attendance of The Suffolk Show and the installation of TrilbyTV! That’s the effect Trilby have on the schools they work with. Their enthusiasm, passion and commitment to technology in education are truly infectious.

Neil Emery, Director at Trilby, initially delivered a two-day training session on the use of iPads at the Royal Hospital School (RHS) in Suffolk. The training was so well received that the head of marketing at RHS, Sophie Braybrooke asked if Trilby would like to support them at The Suffolk Show. Despite the fact this wasn’t a specific educational/technology event, and was a more a traditional county show, the Trilby team decided it was important to support a well known and respected school like RHS, who have embraced technology to help keep them at the cutting edge of education delivery.

The Trilby team were very well received by students, prospective students, teachers and parents, who were all very keen to be involved in their filming activity. Teachers and parents were also very enthusiastic about the forthcoming iPad implementation at the RHS and were very impressed with the idea of showcasing work and creating their own TV brand.

Hardeep Mahal, Associate Trainer at Trilby commented, “We were showcasing TrilbyTV and demonstrating how it has helped reaffirm the RHS as a forward thinking school. Students got involved and filmed over 25 fun facts tracing the history of the RHS against our mock-up green screen studio! We were on hand to answer questions from teachers and students and show how easy it is to showcase and celebrate work. Parents who were initially apprehensive about iPads being introduced into their school, soon changed their minds when they saw their children up on the television screen sharing historical facts!”

Neil Emery concluded, “We are extremely passionate in supporting all of our customers and helping them to achieve real success when embedding new technologies into the curriculum. It’s great that we are able to convince even the most reluctant parents that within the right educational context, technology can be an extremely powerful tool in the hands of the learner. The RHS is an excellent beacon of how successfully technology can be integrated into the curriculum to enhance the whole learning process. We know the RHS will use TrilbyTV to its full potential to help motivate students by showcasing their work on a daily basis.
