Monday: P4’s from two classes experimenting with the Activboard software, such that they could cascade to their peers and their teacher.
Wednesday: P5’s and their teacher on setting up and interpreting a database.
Thursday: the other half of P3 with my P3’s on writing in Clicker 4.
Every day….after school.. questions.. questions ..questions .. How can I? But you know dear reader, that was great, because they were all about their whiteboard funcionality, that we had not covered in their initiation session. So they were all wanting to take things forward.
In my own class, they have been adding sound to their animation films. They have been exporting to imovie and adding sound there, showing off their skills, flicking between applications, to anyone who would stop and listen for the five seconds necessary. That bit’s been great fun for all! Still got through our Language and Maths work, but stole time from Environmental Studies and PSD, but you know, I think it was time well spent, because a sullen, disinterested child, smiled and took charge of a camera, worked in a group for the first time and was able to tell me what he was trying to do. Hey ho!
And, in between, saving and collecting reporting, people thought they had lost. Getting the right printer to work…. Oh and writing my own reports!
