Amazing what you can think of when you try as ict is everywhere my children had a game for xmas for their dsi called draw to life where you are presented with problems and you come up with a solution and draw it this then becomes animated and acts out your instructions to solve the problem genius! HAPPY NEW YEAR I WISH YOU ALL HEALTH,WEALTH AND HAPPINESS IN 2010.XXXX

you gotta love santa

hi everybody,
well santa brought me a lap top for xmas which is soo much faster than my old pc and only ict related news from the festive period is that windows 7 is way cool.

And another thing

Sorry forgot to mention did have looked at Jan's blog a few times and there is some interesting stuff on there from Mandy, dont know her myself but Mandy seems to have her finger on the pulse of all things new or up and coming in ICT check it out Wordle looks like fun and there a thing on there east speak or something with a talking lion hey sounds nuts but look at it from a childs perspective(not difficult for me) they'll love it. jan also has a link to how to become a better blogger which reads better than it sounds, however in my opinion after reading some of it it seems to be a brill blogger takes a lot of time planning and thought so unfortunatley i'll have to settle for being just a blogger!!Right I really am off now, seasons greetings. xxx

crazy creations

Hi all well today in ICT we used Rm2 Colour magic it is very similar in appearance to the 2 animate software only it used to create still pictures, had a little go myself and can be a little tricky to get the exact shapes you want and its not as detailed as 2 animate, but the kids loved it and created some very interesting pictures of teachers in the school some of which will be put on the website instead of staff photos! Spiffing as the ones done of me seem to range from olive oil to bet lynch dont know which is the worst there is even one where my hair looks like some sort of wild animal! dont you just love year 3?. Well have a lovely christmas everyone dont over do it. Karen, xx

Where is the time going!!

Weel guys not a great deal of ICT going on in my classroom at the moment other than me doing power point after power point of christmas hymns(my teacher runs the choir) i swear if i hear christmas is coming once more i'll scream!!
We have just introduced sims into the school for registration last week which i have done and is simple enough until thursday when it refused to load but it was the whole school not just me (for a change). All year groups are working through e.mail and have now all been added to e.pals so even my 8 year oldson is emailing his friends, like ducks to water honestly.
Well seasons greeting to you all. xx
