I was taking a “Using Smart Board” course in Inveraray yesterday, delivering to 8 primary and 1 secondary teacher.

When the boards (4 of them) were set up in the morning, we used PC’s on 2 of them and Macs on the other 2. But the software is not the same on both platforms, in particular the “Gallery” in notebook. On the PC it is brilliant but on the Mac it is very limited.

Needless to say, this did not impress some of my primary colleagues who only use macs.

Why is ICT never simple?

My only saving grace for the day was my witty charm. At least, I think that’s what they said.

It was nice to meet the Argyll & Bute Glow mentors and put names to faces, but it was also very nice to get home last night as I was absolutely exhausted.

There is a lot of excellent technology out there which I would love to make use of in my classroom but the cost is such that it remains a dream. Perhaps one day???
