Welcome to ESS
Here we give an introduction to ESS and welcome you to the rich range of ideas, guidance and activities available on this site. We have an introductory video and ideas about how to use the site.
You can select to add subtitles to the video once you start playing the video. These can also be changed to your own best language by clicking on the settings (a wheel) and changing the language.
For those new to ESS we recommend reading the New Teachers Advice
Presentation Mode
If you want to present an idea from the website to your class or introduce an idea or play some of the multimedia, it's a good idea to use the presentation mode. This is a really neat way to make your presentation slick and fill the who screen without the side bars or menus.
