Now I've had the chance to explore the possibilities with blogging (Friday afternoon's, never good for new learning!) I thought I should probably update my page.
In schools so far, I have seen the obvious use of ICT - interactive maths games on BBC Bitesize etc and have been involved in, hopefully, more effective uses of ICT such as getting the children to record themselves telling stories and poems to each other and then listening back, as well as 'freeze framing' scenes of fairy tales they have acted out, and using a digital camera to put the photos on the IWB and think of good 'emotion' words to describe what was happening and how that character was feeling.
I had never considered using a blog before now though, and I can honestly say I am starting to come round to the idea!!
I really enjoyed the lecture this week about creating animations in the classroom and, as unartistic as I am, am looking forward to starting work on one on Friday - how I'll beat the 'Shreddies' film though I don't know!!
I found this video on YouTube of an animation done in a primary school, thought it might be fun to put a link for it on here:
