Has anyone used this to do their obs/learning journeys? A few people I know are raving about it & impressed at how it cuts down the time spent

the above thread is one that was started by orbit on the forum. i think lots of people use them and are happy.

personally, i am not that keen, as i am not that computor literate and prefer to handwrite diaries and LJ. i am also concerned about other people having access to the childrens files and my work. i did sign up to orbit though, and it looked very interesting. good luck x

Its fab, saves tons of time, is more accessible to parents and other settings, can't rate it enough, they have loads of safeguarding info on site and printouts for parents to explain what it's all about, they are releasing new features all the time just as I think it can't get better they do another update and amaze me again, they are very open to ideas which reminds me I need to email them about something else I have thought about lol. If they can carry out some ideas I have suggested parents will soon be able to comment on pics, we'll be upload videos, there'll be a like button for parents on pics just to name a few, have a look at some of the reviews on their Facebook site, type in orbit.so I think

I have used Orbit but i prefer 2 simple. i have the free version which you can use up to 5 times then delete those obs and start again. Sarah
