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
