Hello & welcome!

Techy stuff used at SPS

So the school has…

  • a room with 20 computers and wireless internet
  • Wi-fi from the principles office (for teacher use only)
  • lots of mobile phones
  • laptop
  • projector
  • flip camera
  • lots of SD cards & a couple of usb sticks

Some nice ingredients to make a really effective lesson.

The only problem we saw so far is that the wi-fi is down a majority of the time & because there is no IT support onsite sometimes the school has to wait before being able to use the internet with the students.

So to the devices - the functions we used on the phones were…

  • Bluetooth
    • Bluetooth was super cool for us to use since the phones do not have Sims in (stops the phone bills clocking up!)
  • camera
    • great for evidence gathering, helps the student discover a different learning style
  • video
    • These guys are interview experts!
  • text editor
    • Automatically the kids chose the phone to type notes & Bluetooth rather than using pen & paper
  • & voice recorder
    • used this to record poems - others can hear how they interpreted the poem
