Wristbands as a way to promote pupil voice?

I think these wristbands are great. They look very cool, but more than that they allow the children autonomy over their learning, instant access to a great set of tools to manipulate and publish their ideas. The fact that the software stays o the band and does not need uploading, downloading, all kinds of loading is great. it keeps the concept simple but very effective. The video aspect is a concern as it limits the children's interaction with digital medias. After seeing some of the projects developing I am now asking myself this question, if each child had one, would their opportunities for personalising their learning, communicating their voice and sharing their learning motivations become a reality within our school. simple answer, yes.
