This Weeks lesson (Videos)
This weeks lesson task was to create content which could be given to subject leaders to show how the iPods could be used in their lessons. There was no guidance to what the pupils should create just access to our networks software and Creative Vado video cameras.
Here is a few examples of what they have done!

Geography
Chemistry

Initiative and Hard Work VERSUS iPods. Which wins?
Thank you to all of the year 9 pupils who created a mobile website for their last English IS. As always, I was amazed by the ability of you all and just how good some of the finished products were. For example, here is a link to Jack Griffiths' web site: happykittens.co.uk/wc
As you'll see from this, pupils are able to make great looking, easy to use, resources very easily. However, I'd like to pay special praise to pupils such as Jennifer Hall and Nicole Martin. Some pupils aren't as proficient at technology or simply aren't interested in making web sites. And that's fine. What was brilliant is that both Jennifer and Nicole made their web site, but then wrote a document about it (a task many pupils would be more comfortable with). In these written documents they both showed outstanding writing skills and therefore hit all of the English criteria for the task.
One or two pupils complained that the task was just too difficult. Others didn't. Others simply found a way to make the task suit them. Ultimately, all of the technology we have available to us now still doesn't mean much if we lose sight of the really important skills - initiative and hard work.
