Digital fun<\/h4>\n

Our February meeting began with some digital fun. We all tried out slido.com<\/a> which allows everyone in a meeting to collaborate in answering questions posed to the group or as a quiz format. We tried both! The question pops up on your phone and you input your answer – it appears on the group screen for everyone to see! For the quiz, ours was about contemporary women, the questions and options appeared on our phones. Everyone could select their answer and send. The main screen showed how many people had selected each answer, then showed the correct answer. At the end everyone’s scores were collated. It proved a successful experiment!<\/p>\n

STEM\/Arts project<\/h4>\n

Leonie talked about her project Zingera. This encourages the use of apps in education to promote STEM but also incorporate the arts. The aim is to encourage learning through diverse means but in particular in using apps to enhance learning. The aim is to work with such online resources as the World History<\/a> Project, Big History<\/a> project, Magic Lantern<\/a> and the National History Museum, making them accessible to children and educators. Leonie is planning a workshop day for local children at Bemerton Heath in July.<\/p>\n

International Women<\/h4>\n

Michele regaled us with an account of her tour of New Zealand and how inspired she had been by the Soroptimists she met there. She showed us photographs of the stunning scenery, aptly illustrating the long white cloud – the Maori name for New Zealand: Aotearoa. In Hokitiki, on the south island’s west coast, she met Yvonne Simpson, a widely travelled Soroptimist. Yvonne had met our Liz Batten in New York some years ago! She was also welcomed by other Soroptimists in Wellington.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”6574,6575,6576″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We next had a break for a toast to wonderful women everywhere.
