To enable children to network and share 'Apps' that they have been using
 * Focus**

An afternoon was arranged to enable children to share the 'Apps' that they had been using in class. Four children from each of the six schools were asked to bring with them two 'Apps' that they had been using in class. At the beginning of the afternoon, they were put into mixed school groups - one child from each school. The children took it in turn to explain the 'Apps' they had chosen and then they spent most of the afternoon experimenting with each other's 'Apps'. For the last part of the afternoon, in their groups, they rated the 'Apps' and then chose their top two. One child from each group then reported back to everyone. These 'Apps' were then collated into a top ten.
 * Description**

The whole afternoon went well and the aim of getting children to network and share their 'Apps' were met. All the children and adults went away with some more 'Apps' that they wanted to us in class. A particularly pleasing aspect was the informal 'coffee cup' networking that went on between all the adults from the different schools. As well as this, another pleasing aspect was the way that the children socialised and worked with each other.
 * Evaluation**

Whilst the children worked well together, their feedback cold have been of a better quality. However, this was not the main focus of the day and very little input was given to the children on how to structure their feedback. This is something that could be incorporated if the afternoon was to be repeated.
 * What would we do different next time?**
