Following the success of last year’s Kidsmeet Blackpool, we’re delighted to announce that we will be able to attend again this year.
To find out more about Kidsmeet Blackpool 2012, click here.
Last year we chose to present about how to use Kodu and our presentation was highly successful.
This year we are stepping it up a gear, BUT we’re keeping our plans top secret!
What do you think we might have chosen to show off to everyone?
As you know we have been lucky enough to buy some iPad 2s for school recently. The Apple App Store has thousands and thousands of apps, some of which are amazing and some which are dreadful.
Unfortunately, deciding which apps are good and which aren’t is very difficult to do and very time-consuming.
So, please spend some time working in pairs to evaluate some different iPad apps.
To do this, choose any app, spend some time using it and learning what it can do. Then, answer the following questions using the comments button on this blog post. Remember to write in full sentences:
What is the app called?
What does it do?
What do you like about the app?
What do you dislike about the app?
How could we use it in school?
Which year groups do you think it is most suited for?
Should we keep the app or delete it?
Would you recommend it to a friend?
Once you have answered all of the questions, choose another app and start again. Thanks for your help!
Please evaluate your own teaching during SMILE Week by answering the following questions as honestly as you can. Leave your answers as comments:
What were you trying to teach the children you worked with?
Were there any differences between different aged children? Which classes did you prefer teaching? Why?
How did you find the behaviour of children in the lessons you taught?
What do you think you did well?
What might you need to improve if you repeated the lesson?
Did you enjoy teaching? What did you enjoy or not enjoy about it?
This year’s SMILE Week was another massive success with every class in school having a great time taking part in some amazing activities they’ve never done before.
SMILE Week also saw the introduction of our iPads to school. All classes in KS1 and KS2 were introduced to some brilliant iPads by our equally brilliant Digital Leaders, who only the week before had run a successful after school staff meeting, which you can see here .
Have a look at their hectic SMILE Week timetable here.
Below are some of the photos from the iPad Launch with 5RW:

The Digital Leaders did ALL the teaching and I would like to thank and congratulate them for their hard work and professionalism.
Please leave a comment if you like the idea or if you have any suggestions for other things we could do in next year’s SMILE Week.
