So we've got the memory sticks, lanyards and plastic ID covers. The Y3 children are ridiculously excited to be having their own stick "just like the teachers". Back-up plan is in place. Ideal September task - taking their digital images from last week and editing online. (Year 6 used Picnik to edit and exported both to their stick and to a class Humyo account, so I did not have to trawl through all the sticks before printing them onto card).
Year 3 today were introduced to the Badge Maker - Name Badge (landscape) option. They were introduced to the term Header & Footer and had to think of something sensible to go on each. Names were added (with capital letters where appropriate!) and colour scheme selected. Plenty of time was taken explaining how to navigate to My Computer>ChildName(F:)>Photo.jpg to ensure a photo from their memory stick would be on their Badge Maker creation.
Finally they had to save their completed badge onto their stick. Also a huge deal was made about the Safely Remove Hardware icon, for obvious reasons.
I will post in future about my reasons for the seemingly retrograde step of introducing memory sticks into a primary school in the era of online spaces, cloud computing, etc etc.
