First few weeks..

The children in my class are very much engaged in using the voting systems. The LA children are able to access this technology easy as they only have to generally press one button for a response.

So far, I have used them in Science (e.g. to label the human skeleton), numeracy (to enter answers to calculations entered on a calculator; the pick a correct response for addition and subtraction), literacy (for word level work such as to, too and two, deciding which homophone fits correctly into a sentence).

The staff have also used them to fill in our annual staff questionnaire, as responses can be truly annonymous. The children sign in with their own ID, although some of them do forget it so i have had to get them to write their ID's down... Also I have found that the receiver doesnt take kindly to being set up long before you use it, i have had to just plug it into the USB at the moment I need to use it.
