Kirkshaws had use of the I-touches from the loan centre in the second term this year. They were used in most classes in a variety of ways . The most common use was taking photographs, short videos and using the pre-installed apps during maths and language times as well as playing a part in our ‘Go For Green’ reward afternoons.
The children benefitted from having several devices as it allowed most of the children to take active part in the activities together. They experimented with creating short sideshows using Sonic Pics lite as well as creating slideshows for assemblies incorporating their own video footage
Rebecca – “I used the i-touches to go around the playground after lunch to take pictures of the litter during Eco week. Mrs Steel then helped us make a slideshow to show at assembly.”
Jordan – “They were really fun and a change from always using the laptops. We used them for lots of things but mostly to play maths games and stuff like Maths Pop. Because there were more of them we got more chances.”
Shannon – ” I liked the Octopus App and challenging my pals at it. We also took them to Tesco’s when we did our bag packing to take video and photos to show the rest of the school what we did.”
