Onenote

With the development of the Eagle role in to a more fully developed roll (from the chick to the Eagle!) we've been looking at ways of note taking that are accessible to all.
We started looking at Onenote (Microsoft app!!) as you can have a pdf of the planning or tables of names or events which can be shared amongst the team with the ability of adding photos, notes more tables with info ... endless possibilities. I've been using it all week and have found it great - my notes are easily accessible and I haven't wandered with my clip board, just my ipad. The children are all far more curious about what i'm doing with the ipad and so after reading groups I read them the comments I have made, things they are doing well, or next steps. They seem to really take it on board as i'm doing it on the ipad not a scrap of paper!

Technology

At the moment I have a love hate relationship with Technology! I'm still coming to grips with using a MacBook and having been a PC user for 20+ years i'm having to dig deep and focus on my Growth Mindset to ensure that I keep on trying!
I made the mistake this week of linking all my devices - MacBook, Ipad and Iphone, and then wondering where my data allowance had gone when gigabites of data was flowing between them all.  I now have some great family photos (my daughter in the bath covered in bubbles!) on all devices when that's not really appropriate!
I have also discovered that the best way of transferring photos is to join the 2 devices using a cord - just like you would a digital camera.
Devices are wonderful but you can also loose 2 (or more) hour very easily!
