What is iTribe trying to do?

I think that iTribe is bringing Henleaze Junior School further into the modern world around us. As a member of iTribe, I believe that everything should be easy to navigate and its appearance be intriguing. At the moment barely anyone, not even some of the staff, do know the full capability of our technology.
My approach to our adaptations is to make our use of the equipment simple to follow but still using technology to its full extent. If we focus on what the school believes is necessary to improve then, in the  short space of time that we have, we can make HJS satisfied. I also like to wonder about the ways different things can make our learning easier. Our ideas alone would improve our school to some extent, but with another 350 or so ideas our school could soar into the world of technology.
At our recent meetings we have been beginning to analyse our survey results. This then will form the basis of our work.

Hello.

I am Katrina.
I am in iTribe.

I feel that iTribe helps me change the pespective that I think about technology.
I've never known much about technology.
 iTribe has helped me learn about it, and find out what technology the school has.
iTribe has also help me broaden my mind, and think outside the box.
I always look forward to our iTribe meeting, as we have ways very useful to communicate and use surveys, and because  I get to use an i-pad and macbook!

I have very ambitious thoughts about the school's technology.
I think that, together, iTribe will achieve alot.

Pupil Survey

Throughout the next two weeks all the Henleaze Junior School pupils will be filling in a survey so that we know what they think the school needs. This information will affect the technology that we change/introduce. If you are an HJS pupil please click this link http://tis.im/itribepupil. Thank you.

Staff Survey

All Henleaze Junior School staff are completing a survey to let iTribe know their thoughts about the school's technology. The class teachers are going to do this activity in a lesson at the same time as their class. Other staff are completing it at a time suitable for them. If you work at HJS please click this link http://tis.im/itribestaff and complete the survey.

How did it begin

In the beginning there was Mr Barber, desperately trying to work out the best way to upload videos to the school website. It ought to be so simple. (Or maybe it ought not. After all, we're talking about complex computer processes involved in getting film from camera to computer to web server and into your living room.) Radio Henleaze has been a page on the website for a couple of years, but as the school is making more and more film, Mr B thought it would be a good idea to rebrand it as HJSTV. But where do we put it and how do people find it?

That's really where iTribe started. When Mr Barber's old and crumbling brain started to struggle with the limitless possibilities, he decided to hand over to the experts. 10 year olds. Today's consumers, and tomorrow's designers.

Mr B is a Man With A Plan. The rest of the tribe have all been chosen because of the different skills they can bring.
