I am the Senior Teacher/ICT Co-ordinator at Oakdale Junior School in the London Borough of Redbridge. I have been using the Nintendo DS in the school for the last 18 months and incorporate the use of them acroos the Junior school (350 pupils) and across the curriculum. We have used Brain Training, Professor Layton and Pictochat to enable and enhance the curriculum for all.From September the borough are also setting up a small games network where we will be exploring the use of the Wii with relation to Literacy. I will be showing examples of how we have used this hand held technology and other web based games to inspire and motivate learners and teachers
