Star Skills 200: “Dynamic Design”




Trip to The Tate Modern
On Thursday 25th March, a selection of year 8 students from the Dynamic Design group (part of the Star Skills 200 initiative) attended an Art trip to the Tate Modern.
The students each used a handheld computer to navigate themselves around the vast gallery and to find out more about works on display at the Tate Modern. By using the Smart Guide, student’s experience were enhanced as they were able to select video's to look at showing the artist's at work, they could draw on the screen and record their own thoughts about each individual piece.Back in the classroom, the students can download a full digital record of their tour, including all of their drawings, recordings and writing, as well as the images of the pieces they looked at. The students found the experience to be very engaging and interactive.
