iPod Exploring Time

Over the last few weeks, the year 3 students have been getting 'up close and personal' with our eight brand new iPod Touches.  They have discussed how to care for them and each class has come up with a number of rules, or guidelines for their use, to supplement their existing "Acceptable Use of Technology Agreements".  Stay tuned for posts from each class about their "iPod Touch Rules".

The students have had great fun exploring the Apps, and especially using the camera, as you can see from the images below which were captured by the students during their explorations:

We look forward to keeping you all in the loop, and to reading all your comments and questions about the project.  In time, the students will learn about how blogging works, from all the modelling the teachers do as they jointly construct posts with their class.  The students will also learn from you as you write comments together at home.  Next term, we will start learning how to write good comments at school until the students can contribute their own.  This "conversation" will enrich the whole experience and help the students critically reflect on their learning.  Thanks in advance for you help with this as you involve the whole family!
