Getting started:
Using technology in the classroom started earnestly in
2006 thanks to the Jacqui Sharp courses and the purchase of a digital camera.
Using the digital camera I took lots of photos with the
children and showed them how to use the camera – we were forever finding
opportunities to take photos.
It was a major, time
consuming task down loading them to the
computers in those days – especially as I was new to the game of finding
my way around a computer – there was really no-one else in the school who could help
– a lonely pioneer!

I found that Power Point was a great way to share the photos
and to use them in the classroom. We made all sorts of slide shows. The
children loved writing captions and stories about themselves to go with the
photos.
