The session started smoothly with them logging in and changing their password. The only problem encountered was when a child had left CAPS LOCK on and it wouldn't accept their password. They moved on swiftly to creating their V-ME, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. My job was made a lot easier as I used my two guinea pig children to help me (they love the name), they were invaluable.
I used a couple of 'Show Me' videos off Kaleidos Help:
- Using my home page
- Using my e-portfolio
They were really helpful as they are presented by a child and go through each tutorial step by step.
The children then had a go at at setting up an Interest Page. They all managed to post a title and some even managed to get as far as posting a picture as well. My 'How to' sheets worked a treat. I announced competition for the best Interest Page, as an incentive, winner to be announced on 3rd April.
I have set up a blog for the Year 5 children, the two guinea pigs and the teachers to post on. This is to stop the queue of children tomorrow morning with questions. As we speak one child has already posted that she is doing well, so I feel now she has broken the ice others will try. Once these children are confident navigating and creating on the LP, they will help me train the next class of children.
A good morning was had by all!
