IT Pioneers - the quest continues

Thursday saw Year 3 undertake their second round of  IT training, equipping themselves to support their peers and the teaching staff across their year group

The session was packed with hints on keyboard shortcuts, trouble shooting airplane mode, saving work to folders and an introduction to Dropbox. Esafety principles when searching the Internet were revisited and an understanding of image rights also helped the children to consider how to use images published on the web. All this was linked to our World Book Day celebrations, a very creative approach to linking the learning experienced today. 

Even after the first week it has been clear to see the impact of this work and this approach will be an ongoing aspect of our IT strategy.  Many things learnt and clearly there is an appetite for more next week!
