Reflection
Session was fantastic. Loved teaching with chrome books and seeing children's excitement as they begin working on their devices. Personally I felt a bit lost with the recording element of this session, and I wanted to show to much. Had to really narrow down what the key points for the session were and also key discussions with students.
Things to note
This session was a first for many things. Most significantly this video captures is my first ever chrome book teaching moment. It is also my first class on air, also the students first learning opportunity on chrome books for this year - and for many of them this was also their first opportunity to learn with a chrome book.
