Reporters

Today we learnt about sound and video. We did the sound recording first. when we started we were a bit shy but the more we recorded each other the more confident we became. We got better at using the PDA to record. We each did interviews with everyone in the group, some of us shared the same views.
We asked the following questions;
What is your name?
Where do you live?
What are your hobbies?
Tell me an interesting fact about yourselves?
What do you like about living in St helen's?
What don't you like about living in St helen's

We all agreed that we didn't like the dog mess in the streets of St Helen's

We did video recording but we were more shy talking into the camera than just speaking. We preferred recording the voice than video.

Word Fun

In today's session we used Microsoft word and learnt different ways of writing with the PDA. Most of us liked using the on screen keyboard to type. Transcriber was fun but it came out with some funny words!
The children wrote a short story by completing sentences, here are some examples

We went to folly farm. We went with Miss John and some friends. We wore summer clothes and hats and suncream. We saw Llamas and meercats, they wore big sunglasses. They smelt muddy and horrible.

We went to the park. I went with my mum and dad and my brother. We wore hats. We saw a slide. We also saw ducks swimming in the pond. We fed them some bread. It was fun.

First Lesson a success!!!

The family learning group had their first lesson with the PDA's. After technical problems at the beginning of the lesson we were underway having fun learning all about the PDA's. The group learnt the basics, played the addictive game jawbreaker and mastered taking pictures.
