Days 1,2,3

So far this is how far we have got:

• I have taught all pupils how to use an iPod. This was interesting. I asked the class first of all how many of them knew how to use an iPod, and the vast majority of them put up their hands. I believed them, and then was very surprised by how many of them were still getting simple things wrong. Lesson learnt: Do not take for granted that pupils know how to use technology!!!!!  
• All pupils have been introduced to the App "Puppet Pals" and know how to use it. This is a simple App that allows the user to create 'puppet shows' on an iPod with voice-overs.
• They have all planned out what they would like to include in their revision guides.
• All the German has been scripted by them and then checked by me.

Some pupils have also already started taking some shots that they would like to use. All pupils should be ready next lesson to start filming.

Once this is done (hopefully it shouldn't take longer than a lesson and a half..., I will give them a quick lesson on note taking (another importnat skill) and then expect them to take notes while I teach them how to use iMovie.
