What to do when your network goes down during your Reading time...

Chris Grouen & I had planned for me to run the reading programme based on a survey of the school's blogs.

As chance would have it, the network went down half way through the exercise.  So I told the kids to put their newly acquired iPad Pages skills to work and whip up a document showing what they were reading at the moment.

Stats on Blogs

I've been trying to find a way to weave in the Maths strand on Statistics with the uptake of class blogs across the entire school this year.

We haven't got the student accounts sorted yet so in the mean time this will help them identify different components of their class blogs and get them doing some comparative research with other classes in the school.

My plan for the next few weeks.  There may be a few tweaks needed in the plan... here goes.

Working the iPads with Juniors

I've been working with the junior classes. Hefting 20 iPads around, drilling the 'safe handling' message to ensure these gadgets last a long time.

The children have been learning correct procedures for carring, filming, photographing and of course, sharing these valuable devices.

They have been learning to use Dropbox to retrieve photos from the school picnic at Cornwallis beach. They've made posters and have then stored them on Dropbox.

Here's a sample of the morning's 90 minutes' work with a short video below of the process for making these lovely images.  This is Room 12.
