We are currently using it in our school as I continue to develop it. <br /><br />I would love to send it to you and get your take on it (if you have an android device somewhere). Seems you are interested in mobile technology and the tablets we purchased are only £52.50 each making it very cost effective. They are only 7" which at the moment for the children this is great.<br /><br />Is there a way to contact you?<br /><br />JamieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588138669895761322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739217076391384850.post-64396986963875873792012-08-01T20:02:19.154+01:002012-08-01T20:02:19.154+01:00I've only just seen this too!

However the Long Writing Task was as dull as ditch water. My children were disappointed - the report on the Tongo Lizard a few years ago allowed for some imagination and creativity.

I felt the short writing task was appalling, mainly because the marking scheme assumed children would write in the first person and express their feelings, yet there's nothing in the task to suggest they should do this, so anyone writing in the third person is penalised. Also, some children wrote great descriptions of a busy place - how it looked, what was there, etc - without describing the movement, pushing and shoving, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739217076391384850.post-76635565231232649472010-06-16T21:33:55.800+01:002010-06-16T21:33:55.800+01:00Thank you so much for this idea.
