'Freaked Out' Book Review

Hiya guys,

Recently, we have come across a AMAZING book called 'Freaked Out' by Simon Pridham. It explains everything from turning an iPad on to security and control. It's got everything you need to know about using an iPad. This book gives us a clear step-by-step guide of all the apps we have in school. It's SO EASY to follow, even the TEACHERS could follow it! :) Our favourite part of this incredible book is the guide to using the app 'Aurasma' because it tells you how to create an account and make your object pop out and show on your screen. It was so clearly explained.

As the book says technology has developed since the last decade. It has a whole chapter about the digital leader system and great apps that they could learn how to use. They could teach other children that are maybe a lower level in I.C.T.
  
Whether you don't really know anything about iPads or I.C.T or are looking to improve what you already know, this book will really help you because it tells you these following things: How to download apps, How to put it on sleep, Use siri and loads more! Another FANTASTIC thing about this book is the fact that is interactive! This means that you don't always have to read to get the right information. Throughout this book, QR Codes have been placed so that you can get the information immediately...you're learning is instant. We love the way that the Digital Leaders are used in the videos and tutorials too! Great idea!!!!

We hope to purchase more copies so we can get the whole school reading and learning TOGETHER! This book is really useful for all ages and is available to buy so go and get your copy now!! Thank you to Mr Stone for purchasing this first copy, it has already helped us loads!

IMPORTANT NEWS!

Before we begin anything, let us introduce our 'friend to be', Simon Pridham who has written a guide to use an iPad. He is the king of Learning and teaching in the form of I.C.T! We hope to purchase more copies so we can get the whole school reading and learning! It features lots of apps such as Aurasma, Red Laser, Twitter and so much more. We think that this book inspiring because it features all that we have learnt and we can share it with others!

Hi Guys,
Its Liam Cassley, Ella Davies, Olivia Prichard and we're the Digital Ambassadors of Cefn Fforest Primary for this year. As we've already talked about, we have purchased the amazing guide called 'Freaked Out!' This will really help us to create and reform our Digital Leaders. Luckily for us, it explains all of what Digital leaders are and what we do. Quite simply we can share this by adding our own organization and making it public. We have followed on this information and idea to a close school called Millbrook Primary which we are hoping to do a project with in the future about I.C.T. The pattern that we both have followed includes the system of:

1. Begin by becoming a Digital Apprentice (Year 3)
2. Follow on in your new school year by becoming a Digital Leader (Year 4)
3. Learn new skills but you will still be a Digital Leader (Year 5)
4. Become a Digital Ambassador or a Year 6 Digital Leader and become in charge of I.T in your school before you make the jump to comp! (Year 6)

 Now over to the most exciting news..........Our Digital Ambassadors and our amazing I.C.T teacher, Mr Stone, have been lucky enough to have the chance to Skype the king....Simon Pridham! On Tuesday we are preparing for an exciting call with him where we can talk about his fantastic book and ideas for the Digital Leaders.

 

Bye Guys, Hope you get some useful tips from us

We can't wait for our chat with Simon,

Liam, Ella, Olivia!
