Comment on … here we gooooooooo by TFT

definitely….

I was very pleased with the responses we saw. I think we’re onto a winner here, but as you’ve pointed out, we need to now individualise for each class, otherwise some wheels may fall off, so to speak.

Here’s to a fantastic group of enthusiastic educators that aren’t afraid of being taught. It makes the mini-conference for 2009 all the more pertinent doesn’t it?

Well done to all of you!

The laptops on the pods in JS now run on 2007 and the kids are coping really well.
They don’t need mice as I thought they might.
A bit more faith in their abilities on my part and they will shine.

Ah yes, but one of us needs to do the codeing. Looks like it’ll have to be me. I’ll meet with my possible source of a kiosk appliance tomorrow and see what we can come up with.

Touch screens are usually around $900.00 – $1000.00 at the moment.

Again, I have a couple of options of how we can achieve this differently.

1. You can buy kits to convert an LCD to a Touch Screen (basic electronic knowledge needed) on eBay. reasonably priced and probably worth a try.

2. A College family run a local Photo Processing outlet. I have spoken to him in the past about the green “Fuji” photo kiosk’s that they use. Touch screen equipped computer in a small self contained unit. They are often available 2nd hand, and this could also be an option.

I’ll look into both of these for us and see what we can find.

And yes, I love the idea of the 2nd Competition. Even if they just design the layout, and we code the solution based on their ideas. Or get a SS Student to code the solution for us.

… so how much is a touch screen likely to cost us? And where do we get it from?

I was thinking that KICT could launch a second competition, judge the winner & award a for the best kiosk plan.
