Tiny Tap

Hi everyone, we have been trying out a new app on the iPads called Tiny Tap. It is a great programme for the children to use as it allows them to create their own game which others can play. A1 students: Maddy, Manaia and Layla have created one to celebrate Te Wiki O Te Reo coming up next week. If you want to see just what you can do with this app, take a look at theirs at
http://www.tinytap.it/community/ .

Unfortunately you can only play this on either an iPad, iPhone or an iPod at this time otherwise on a PC you can view each page but aren't able to interact. Have a go! A1 loves it so we know you will too.

WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER?

Hi everyone. We are running a poll to see which Presentation Tools we should use to show off our photos. We like both the Trip Advisor Trip Wow and Kizoa programmes but are interested in finding out which one you like? 

Take a look at both of these Slideshows by going to our Camp Whakamaru page on the right hand side of the blog. They both show the same pictures but, there are different effects used in both. Watch these, then make your selection. Voting closes on Friday.

MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!! 

Help guide A1 in our new blogging direction.

All of our Describe Pieces of Writing were created using the Book Creator App on the iPad.
