I thought the teacher I spoke to said that they were on loan - but Gail understood that the school bought the set themselves? Maybe Ollie could clarify. As far as ICT support dept. buying a set goes .... sounds like a great idea. I'll pass on your request - not sure who holds the purse strings, though:-) I think there'd be a long queue of teachers keen to try this out!! Hi Rich.

I know that mr O from easter Carmuirs is planning to do some work with Guitar Hero soon. I'll be sure to pass on the planning doc. info! When i visited Wallyford PS, I spoke to one of the teachers involved in the project and discovered that she's moving to a school in Falkirk in the near future :-) p.s. I wonder why your comments don't appear right away? I only discovered it when I logged in to the blog .... no email alert either? Thanks for the links, David.

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:45:26 +0000 http://mvass.edublogs.org/?p=225#comment-177 Sounds like one of the best days ever had at school! Interested to hear if the school bought their own DS' or if they were from LTScotland? Would be a great investment for any school, but maybe quite hard to set aside the cash. Perhaps a Local Authority ICT support department could invest in a set and then loan them out? :o) Rich. Sounds like one of the best days ever had at school!

As Ollie probably said, we're extending the Guitar Hero project across all 6 clusters this session, so there will be lots more experience to draw on by the end of the year. So far we've held the first planning workshop, some <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/davidgilmour/sets/72157610660454971/" rel="nofollow">snaps of which you can see on Flickr</a>. Some staff got quite excited, never mind the children! If anyone's interested in finding out more, there's a project blog at http://edubuzz.org/blogs/mgsguitarhero where the staff involved have shared their planning documents showing how they linked to Curriculum for Excellence outcomes.
