Last week the future classroom lab @ctif was teeming with visitors; parents, students and local education team members. Students had got together and planned the evening which included the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony and lots of fun activities. Students showed visitors their projects of all kinds, flashcodes, padlet pages and videos amongst other things. Visitors were able to try out the presentation zone and participate by writing on our on line visitors book. A couple of students demonstated how they get on with programming our two new robots. With the ipads visitors could test out making a film with the green screnn and read the flashcodes. It was a great evening and we hope to have another open day soon to enable more parents to see how students are developing their collaborative and digital skills.
After several months of testing in the 'Salle @ctif' , the classroom will be officially opening on Thursday 21st January. Recently a green screen area has been made available to students enabling them to make videos of all sorts should they wish to. This tool has been a great hit with students of all ages presenting their work linked to different subjects, English, French and History. Various classes have been working on different projects in the classroom discovering how to work together and how to use new tools. Most recently students have been learning how to create QR codes. Using the ipads and the QR code reader application students can then see other students' work and projects of all sorts.
