Campie Primary School gets some new toys! - PSP's in Education

Glow_on_psp I have mentioned previously as an education authority we are about to start work on a pilot Play Station Portable (PSP) Project. We are a partner in this project with Learning and Teaching Scotland’s Consolarium. We recently found out that the school that would be taking part in the pilot would be Campie Primary School, Musselburgh.

Today we were testing some of the equipment in Campie and received some training from ConnectED. The PSP’s will be part of a package for this project that will also include some other software for standard PC’s.

This software will include:

  • Crazy Talk – Picture animation software (great for digital story telling)
  • Lecturnity – Quickly podcast your lessons (huge potential with this one!)
  • Podium – Quick and easy podcasting

Each PSP will also be supplied with a 2GB Memory Stick, PSP Digital Camera and a copy of Hot Brain (Brain Training Software for the PSP). Each of the PSPS will also have access to the wireless network in the school so they will be able to browse the internet and uses web based applications. I was able to access a number of websites today including GLOW and I was able to up-load a photograph taken with the PSP Camera (then edited into a sketch) to Flickr.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this project develops between now and the summer holidays.
