Our last ICT with Mandy

Today is our last session with Mandy :( We picked a  topic and played around with different websites to create visual things to possibly use in our assignment. I picked a duck because ducks are one of my favourite animals and are sooo cute! I made pictures of a duck from different words and it looks pretty nifty. I'm not doing my assignment on ducks, but at least now I know how to use these different things for future reference.

Placement

Just before we broke up for Christmas, we went on placement for a week at a place of our choice. I chose the primary school I went to when I was younger and really enjoyed it. Though most of the time was spent practising the Christmas concert and I didn't see much of the children's work I did gain a better understanding of how the foundation phase has been implemented into schools. I was in a year 1 class and they had 3 or 4 computers that they could use freely if they wanted to. It was good that they could develop their computer skills so early on and they really enjoyed the computers as they regularly bickered about whose turn it was to use them.
