Welcome Back

After months away from the blogging I have managed to get myself together long enough to try to get back into it.

I want to work out how to use some more of the Web 2.0 applications that are available. I also want to embed videos for the computer club.

ICT in Schools

When asked to post about anything technology related I could not pass the opportunity to talk about the day that Jo, Tim, Trudi and I spent working on the ICT document for our school. Although nothing of any spectacularly great interest happened during our meeting, it was great to see how the boys of my class reacted to working in the computer lab while I was away.

The set task was for the boys to use a http://www.bighugelabs.com/ tool to create a magazine cover for a poetry book that we are making in class. It is amazing that i could sit in a meeting with three other teachers, away from the class, and I could see the work being submitted via email while not even teaching them.

This may seem trivial as we use email on a daily basis, but to think that these boys were given only a series of photos to use and the URL of the web tool site they could design, edit and publish a brand new creation in less than an hour at the age of 8 is quite amazing.

It's Only Just Begun...

Wow. That took ages. I just couldn't find the right jeans to match! I am quite literally amazed at the sheer number of outfits that an Avatar can have.
