Last day of Uni until January. Looking forward to getting GPP started now - it'll be Christmas before we know it! Always nice to spend your holidays working on assignments, so this will be no exception!

Anyway, getting ahead of myself there...

Initial section on Comic Life added, plus a slightly frustrated look at Monkey Jam - see Animation and Stories section. Shame to see Audacity webpage is down, hopefully I can look at that later.

 
...or a useful classroom resource?

Espresso added to the 'Other Resources' Section.

Drink it in, it always goes down smooth.
 
GPP is creeping up fast, and as a result updates to my webpage have slowed down somewhat. I'll look to add a couple more pick n mix items asap, but it's looking likely that uses of ICT during GPP will be my next main updates.
 
Picture
After my last update regarding classroom survey programs, this week finally allowed me to experience a specialised classroom voting system: Activote.

I've added initial details on the relevant page.

ps - this photo shows a bar chart depicting the results of a 'what shape is the sun?' question...it seems some people chose triangle.

 
Most of the pages are in place now, including a GPP section ready for updates in 5 weeks! I also started looking at classroom voting systems but was sidetracked by a similar resource called SurveyMonkey - check the relevant page for details. There's been a few IWB additions, and my next aim is to look for some animation/storyboard programs.

 
There's been a fair bit going on during these last couple of weeks including my first encounter with a Bee-bot and an interesting exploration of Smart Board. I've added some information regarding both of these to the website, plus some extra additions including multiplication grids and an Apps page (still very much a work in progress). I'll be looking to make a bit more progress with the website over the next few days - so there's likely to be another blog on the way soon.
 
The pile of files on the floor is getting bigger and I feel like there's a bit of plate-spinning going on already.

I've seen some interesting uses of ICT this week including an IWB being controlled via an Ipad. Cutting edge stuff really, and a great way to display information whilst 'working the room'. Anyway, more of that on my IWB section later...
 
Week one is nearly over and the foundations (course and website) are coming into place. Content is a little light at the moment, but it's early days and i'm very much still finding my feet. stay tuned.
