ARC Blaenymaes

This week we walked around the ARC centre taking pictures and recording all the ICT facilities on offer.

The ARC has lots of courses on offer from computer courses for absolute beginners to digital photography.

Word Maddness

Today we used Word Mobile on the PDA. We learnt the 3 different ways of typing; using the keyboard, the on screen keyboard and transcriber which converts writing into text. We all preferred using the on screen keyboard as we found it much easier to use. We then learnt how to format the text by changing font, colour, size and making the letters bold

Using the on screen keyboards we then finished off the lesson by writing a bluetooth story. Each person had a sentence to complete but didn't know what the next line would be.

This is what we came up with
We went to Canada
We went with a bunch of flowers and bottles of bubbly.
We wore coats, hats, scarves,gloves and boots.
We saw sea shells on the sea shore, as the tide was out.
They wore Pink wellies, a purple mac and tan trousers.
THEY SMELT LIKE ROSES
They said how are you?
I replied you are the weakest link goodbye!

PDA What’s that?!

Today was the first session looking at the PDA’s. We learnt quite a lot using the different functions as there is lots to look at. We exchanged photo’s using Bluetooth. The controls of the PDA work really well. We also played games. We enjoyed the session.
