super dooper music looper and our Podcast

So how much fun have our last 2 sessions been. First the music maker which is awesome, maybe a little limited on sounds but wow. Its like an easier version of the one on my phone, a sony ericsson. However, after that lecture talking to Thom he played me a tune from his phone that he'd made on it. Wow it was awesome like a proper dance track and it was on his phone. They maybe getting smaller but the technology is certaintly getting better.
Today we used our 'Jingle' on our podcast. The 5 of us had fun doing this coming up with iour own 'DJ' names. It was good being able to phase in and out the music and write up what you would like to say. This will really help children to be able to use it.
I hace definately become more confident in ICT during these seminar session. The lectures are interesting but I find myself really looking forward to what the next session holds.
Can't wait for next weeks session and to foniish our animation!

ICT I have seen in the classroom

Ok so the point of this blog is supposed to be so that we can discuss ICT as we have seen it or used it in the classrooms. In my recent TP I saw how ICT shouldn't be used and this inspired me when it came to my turn to teach to change things in the classroom. Simply letting the children come up and interact with the IWB was so exciting for these children. As a child I always loved being asked to come and write on the blackboard so I imagine this is the same feeling children have to do with a IWB.
I have also seen some amazing ICT used with children from making a class movie with digi blue to a class creating a short soundtrack of their own music to go with a short animation already in excistence.
Ihave worked with a child with Down's Syndrome on research skills and found this very interesting when it came to using and recording the information we found.
