I think it is safe to say that in recent years Moorside has been at the forefront of new Technologies that support teaching and learning. We have been particularly innovative in the classroom with Apple products such as iPods and now iPads. In fact, only last night the teaching and learning group met to discuss the most popular apps to use in a lesson and how they could teach others to use these apps in their lessons. Well it was a lively meeting especially with Barry Marshall in the chair. This enthusiastic group chose 5 apps as a focus for our next teacher training day. I can’t wait because as well as learning something our training days are always fun. Now all they have to do is learn how to use them all! Speaking of Apple and iPads, it was with great sadness that I heard about the death of Steve Jobs. He is surely hailed as a visionary and technological genius. As you probably know we have Steve to thank for iPad technology. He co-founded Apple, built it into the world’s leading tech company and led a mobile – computing revolution with widely popular devices such as the iPhone, iPod and iPad tablet, all of which has changed how we consume content in the digital age. I think it is true to say that that for many people his technology has transformed their lives. It has certainly transformed many of our lessons.
Steve Jobs February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011
