ICT was identified by HMIe as an area for improvement within the school.  As a staff we felt it would be beneficial to widen the learning experiences through using other types of equipment.  As a result of this we have borrowed the consoles twice over two years.  Previously they had only been used in P7.  On this occasion all classes within the school were given the opportunity to use the set of Nintendo Dsi.  All children responded very positively to the use of these in class.  The equipment was used to motivate learners and to develop skills in maths and language through the brain training activities.  In some classes the children recorded their scores and set themselves personal challenges to improve.  The scores that the majority of the children were receiving by the end of the term showed a good improvement in speed and accuracy.  They were also used during Golden Time and had a positive impact on behaviour in some classes.  The children were so disappointed when they had to be returned and we would definitely look to use them again.
