Little Lunch App: A Teacher's Guide Wins ATOM Award
The Little Lunch App: A Teacher’s Guide was announced the winner of the Best Educational eBook Award at the 2016 ATOM Awards.
Peter Maggs, Head of Education at the ACTF, proudly accepted the award on behalf of the ACTF Education Team. “The feedback we’ve had from teachers around the country using the Little Lunch App is that the Teacher's Guide really scaffolds thoughtful and well-planned story-telling for their students. Students are encouraged to come up with strong plots, interesting characters and story-board their narratives in a way that they really enjoy before they start filming using the Little Lunch App.”
