Testing,testing………
Got a phonecall from Promethean to ask how I was getting on with the Activote pods that I won. I had to confess that I had not used them yet as I was making use of the set on loan from the authority. I then thought it would be a good idea to try them out, just in case they were not working.
So this afternoon with Primary 5 we registered the pods and got going with a Christmas Quiz, downloaded from the Promethean Planet website. There are an increasing number of Activote flipcharts in the resource area, including one that I made up on money for P2. Many of the flipcharts have been good, but you really need to try them out for yourself to see if they fit the bill. Occassionally there are errors in the chart, but as they have all been submitted by busy teachers, no wonder.
I spent time on Friday in the other P5 class showing their teacher how the Activote pods work. She is using a PC with her board so the interface was a bit different but she is very keen to get going with the voting system now she has seen it in action. I shall entrust the pods to her in the meantime so that she can get used to using them.
Went online with P3 this morning to look at www.northpole.com , an interactive seasonal website. Much fun to be had.
