Back in time for school – mobile phone edition

With only the slightest hint of nostalgia, Year 6 have been looking at the way different technologies have developed and changed since 1950. At the start of the week, we looked at the introduction of Space Invaders and its revolutionary use of music and sound effects at the same time. We then had a look at one of the all-time classic mobile phones – the Nokia 5110. Naturally, part of this has involved Mr Bromley playing Space Invaders and the different versions of Snake that were found on the mobile phones of the late 1990s, early 2000s. It must be stressed, this ‘playing’ has been for educational purposes only.
That said, I have been asked to publish couple of links on that we have used to experience the games so further research may be undertaken at home. Please remember that any adverts or peripheral addons that work with the sites will need to be controlled by your own browser settings.
