We are lucky enough to now have access to 5 i-pods and 5 i-pads across the early years team. Together with Mrs. Kolenberg’s i-pad, i-pod and her phone we have one moblie device between two children. After the excitement of getting them we had to decide what apps to put on for the Reception and Year One classes. Mrs. Kolenberg knew that her teacher friend Ms. Lirenman in Canada had spent a lot of time looking at apps and then shared them with her colleagues around the world via her blog called Learning and Sharing with Ms. Lirenman   Thankyou Ms. Lirenman for sharing with us!

So we had a look at those apps and have started to put some of them onto our own devices. Some of my children in Year One helped me find the apps at the App store and together we made folders to put the new apps into. They were a great help. Many thanks to those boys!

We are very keen use these devices and learn from each other.

Here are some photos of the class using all the devices for the first time.
