It's been ages since my last post! Naughty me. However, I plan to improve! It's been a really busy term with production and things. I've continued using ict in the classroom and I've continued finding it a challenge. I have enjoyed exploring all the great websites we have been discovering, and adding weekly games appropriate to the childrens learning to my literacy programme has been easy (except finding the time to explore everything as much as I would like!) The challenge comes in the extra time using the log in system- the children are logging in as anyone, and it's a pain getting back to my log in with the appropriate thing bookmarked. And also fixing things when they navigate off the page the game is on. I really don't like taking time away from my reading groups and not sure how to manage this more effectively.

I love using the IWB each day for writing. The children are good at giving feedback to the writer, and it keeps their own feedback skill polished when its their turn with their buddy.

Have tried using cameras in independent activities several times recently without much success. They don't always follow instructions well, and need an adult with them as they learn. Some more close guidance would help I think, but time constraints have been great in the last few weeks. However, I have some ideas for the last few weeks of term, so I hope to get things up and running, and a few things added to our class blog.

Watch this space!
