Filming using the iPad

For this lesson I had to go outside and film a short clip about something interesting in Wrexham.  I chose the Memorial Hospital as it is part of our College and something, I feel, that we are all proud of.  The hospital was open for over 60 years and served the Wrexham people until the new Wrexham Maelor Hospital was built.  It was an interesting experience whilst filming as I felt that I had spoken for quite a long time, only to find that my film clip was very short indeed!  I also took some photographs as part of my course.  I enjoyed doing this and it will be something which I will be doing more of with my own iPad at home.  I managed to find a really nice photograph from the old Memorial Hospital which is now our art building.  Looking at the children in the photograph one can only wonder what happened to them. 



This is such a delightful photograph and captures a different age when children were expected to stay in their cots and behave.  I have enjoyed embedding the photographs and images within my posts each week and would like to go further with this to see if I could incorporate some moving images as well.  The learning journey on this particular course is nearly at an end and I am amazed at how quickly the time has gone.  I am also surprised at how much I have learned each week and I owe this to Joy, our wonderful lecturer and guide.  Before starting the course I borrowed a book about iPads and blogging and read it through in preparation for the class.  However, I am a very practical learner and know full well that reading about something is all well and good but it is the practice which, for me, really helps to embed the skills and knowledge into my brain.  I shall miss the course, the other students and, of course, Joy who has been a real inspiration to us all.  Thank you Joy.

Blogging Holiday!

Over the past two weeks I have been away from my blogging and have not even gone into my account.  However, this evening I was able to log on without the use of my notes so pleased that obviously some learning has taken place.  I am looking forward now to starting  my  own blog in the very near future once I have successfully completed the Blogger's and iPad course.
