It was really hard to choose who to interview and now we have got the even harder choice of choosing who to recruit!
On Monday, 4 of us got an oppurtunity to interview candidates for the job of computer science to work here next year when we start digital studies. I can’t discuss outcomes of what we did, or even how the teachers responded, but I can certainly say what we did.
The interviews covered the space of 2 lessons (2 hours) for 3 individal candidates. The candidates were asked questions which we think would relate to what we want the teacher to be like, and how the can be better than the current ICT teachers. You can view all our questions at https://jhnccdls.titanpad.com/3

When we got to the Apple store today we were met by Barney, then when we went in everyone cheered and welcomed us! We felt like celebrities! Then we were all given t-shirts before we started to learn how to do GarageBand on the MacBooks. It was their rule at the apple store that we have to wear special t-shirts befor we start on Garage Band. Everyone’s projects sound really good and dramatic!
In two weeks time we will be using these skills to teach digital leaders from other schools how to use GarageBand on the iPads, then we will all be teaching our friends in class!

I will add their sound clips asap, but would like to say that they absolutely blew my socks off with their skills and ability to learn so quickly! Jodie especially turned heads with her ability to put sounds together in a pleasing way. I know it’s terrible quality, but you can listen to a bit of it here.

I love doing digital leaders recently we have been doing scratch it has been so much fun and on the 15th of may 2013 Brunswick digital leaders were in a staff meeting and there were lots of different levels it was EPIC!!!. It is so good if you like making games because you have to make them before you play them. All the scratch Levels are so fun. The best scratch game is angry birds because it is a nice short game but it is quite difficult because it involves using degrees and then your a real digital leadery
