This week was a really exciting Go Girl session because we received our iPads! We spent most of today’s session setting them up then we used them to film new short videos and edited them. The videos were quite diverse, ranging from political to documentary style autumn themed videos. It 
was interesting to see how familiar everyone was with the setup despite not having owned an iPad before. The videos turned out great and we plan to have them present their videos to each other the next time we meet. There is no Go Girl session next week because it is half-term so everyone is on break but when we return the first week of November we are going to be moving on to blogging and GarageBand. A couple of the young women are interested in music production careers so it will be exciting to see what they come up with and how it all evolves.
