Mr Mc Guinness visits 7/8 OD!

On Thursday Mr Mc Guinness visited 7/8 OD and discussed how students would need to meet the curriculum expectations - even if they are using ICT such as MineCraft, You Tube, animations, etc.



Students shared some of their ideas about how they plan to use their interest in ICT in their learning this term with Mr Mc Guinness and ... WOW...have they got some great ideas!!!

Students went straight to work to put proposals together for their learning plans this term.

Looking forward to hearing how they plan to link their ICT interest with the curriculum?
Keep an eye on student blogs (to the right) or ask them a question right here in the comment box! 
We are all very excited and keen to share our ideas. We are also keen to hear any ideas and suggestions you may have.
