Cross-Curricular ICT
Finding ways for PUPILS to save and share digital content quickly and efficiently from the iPads has been something of a struggle, with things like Dropbox and Google Drive needing accounts to function. Now in a situation where one-to-one devices may exist, these are fundamental, and will form the bedrock of storage and access. However in the here and now, when it comes to storing video clips or images, SeeSaw has provided a quick and easy set up that almost all the children can access and upload within a few minutes. I'll admit that the continual clicking to approve content via the app can be quite tiresome, but the ability now to actually upload content directly to a space, that is accessible, has improved the availability of these to see exactly what the children have achieved.
In the cross curricular use of the iPads, I can clearly gauge that child A can export a video onto a camera roll and upload into a secure space, or that child B has exceptional directing skills in their 'movie' and that child C has great comic timing! It's so much more that the use of technical ICT skills on show, you can review their practical work, SEE them in action again, and save it as an aide memoir. Once more pupils and parents can revel in their verbal ability, in the child's personality and confidence, that may not be evident in their written or recorded work. It opens up the discussion between class and home and hopefully provides a focal point for celebration and where the next steps for improvement are.
