Modern technology has changed the way most
of us live. But increasingly, for children and young
people, it’s all they’ve ever known. Personal

on the simple principle of capturing the moment of
learning together with individual activities and
engineering the organisation and process for
retrieval and playback in a managed and controlled
platform.
Each pupil will have examples of their classes,
their practical work and their contribution on
video to keep on their space as a record for
review or to show to their parents. Video
assets can be broadly divided into two
areas; lesson capture and evaluation; the
capture of other activities relevant to
education
such as sports, media and culture.
