I am seriously considering doing my learning journals on Tapestry - one of the local Nurseries came and did demo to our childminding network and lots of the Nurseries in my town are signing up to it too - hopefully it would make "Partnership working" issues a thing of the past! My LA currently subscribes to the Early Years Forum so Tapestry would only cost £36 a year - I spend far more than this on computer paper, let alone ink cartridges.
My problem is I currently use a digital camera to take all my photos both at home and out on trips but am rubbish at downloading them to computer to use in my current typed up learning journals - so I have to get my husband to do this for me. My husband has an i-pad which he has said I can use for observations but its too big and heavy to carry around away from home I have a basic mobile it does have a camera but poor quality so I don't ever use it for photos.
I have 2 options available and a very limited budget!
a) buy a Tesco's Hudl for just over £100 which is like a mini i-pad but much cheaper or
b) buy a smart phone and download the app for Tapestry or download photos onto home computer.
Just wondered if anyone has got a Hudl and what the photo quality is like?, the reviews for photo & video quality weren't very good, although the photo they used as an example looked clear enough to me - far clearer than the photos I print out with my ancient printer.
