P1- Learning to Login week 2

Leave a comment


After our first try logging into the desktop computer in the ICT suite last week, this week we have our skills another try and worked hard to come up with our ‘steps to success’ with the help of our teacher. We decided to create this check list to help us to login independently. Mrs MacPhail delivered is a great surprise, a special keyboard with lowercase letters along with the tricky uppercase capital ones to help us to learn  successfully! We will keep practising this until we don’t even need our checklist anymore!

P1- Learning to Login

Leave a comment

We learned how to log onto the school computers in ICT this week.

It is quite a tricky process with lots of steps and buttons to remember to press in the right order.  We did very well for our first time and will continue to practise this life skill throughout the coming weeks until we can to is unsupported, independently and a little faster!

We learned how to power on the parts of the computer, how to use our ‘bunny ears and Peter Pointer’ to unlock by pressing 3 keys at once (we look for the ones starting with C.A.D) and how to input our usernames and passwords. It was very tricky to find all of the correct keys but we all got on in time to play some online learning games.

Miss Thompson is sorry she didn’t get any pics but she was very busy helping us with our technology instead!

Primary 1- Using Technology in our Play

After some help from our P7 buddies in how to use the laptops, we now have 2 of our very own in our class. They are available to use everyday but we have a 10 minute timer to ensure everyone can get a turn. We love to select from a range of learning games to help our learning across the curriculum and develop our skills with the use of technology. 💻
