Childcare Centre Manager Bridget Chapman describes a self review project focused on exploring ways to increase boys' engagement with literacy experiences using digital technologies. The teachers used iPads to capture images and video, as well as the boys talking about their learning, both at the centre and at home with their families.
Martin Kane and Gala Kirke explain their pilot project with iPads at Craighead Diocesan School.
