Four-year-old Ben (name changed) from Brindishe Lee School in Lewisham, South East London, asks his teacher to put the iPad in the slow-motion mode when playing on the outdoor equipment one day. Dumbfounded, his teacher replies, ‘Excuse me?’, to which the boy explains, ‘My friend is going to record me in slow motion on the rope swing so that I can show him how to flip over.’
The child took the iPad and off he went. Later, his teacher found the perfectly captured flip on the rope swing in slow motion. Danielle Sanniti, Reception teacher at Brindishe Lee School, enthuses, ‘It was incredible. We watched the clip in class at the end of the day and the child explained to his peers what he did. This is the perfect example of how technology isn’t just about using iPads, computers or cameras but it’s about how we can manipulate them and use them to enhance a moment or an experience.’
