After the long Easter break it was good to get back to the ipads. First of all we did a brief exercise on the safety concerns you need to take into account when blogging. We used safari to research ways to improve our on-line safety. A lot of it was common sense but it is good to be reminded that not everyone uses the net with the right intentions and little bits of information can be easily misused in the wrong hands.
We then had a try at some of the more fun apps available. The Virtuoso app with its piano keyboard was great in the hands of one class member who is musical but not so impressive in the hands of the rest of the class. It was fun to try it though. The next app we tried was the checkers app. You could play against the ipad or a friend and adjust the level of difficulty to suit you. I had a lot of success on the Easy 0 level and 1 wasn't to bad but on level 2 I was easily beaten. It was great to see some of the fun apps that the ipad has and I look forward to exploring them more.
