Flowol


I have used this program and find it to be quite limited although i'm sure there are add-ons which could benefit the use of this program. I can see how this could be used with younger key stage 2. Above is the image of when i used it. Has anyone used this and found difficulties?

Discrepincy with e-snips

I was wondering if anyone had any trouble uploading their files to the website. To be fair i have successfully uploaded 3 of 4 files. However i am having trouble with my final one, it has uploaded but is unwilling to play through the website. I wondered if any one else has had a similar problem and been able to solve it? This to me has again highlighted what lecturers have said with the need to back up your files, so i will definatley be doing from now on.

Podium Podcasting?

AFter investigating this program myself and like most not really reading instructions i found this to be quite a tempremental tool. However upon further use in the session and with a few hints and tips from my lecturer i have been able to navigate my way around the program much easier now and can see the full potential that resides within it. Following watching the video's of schools using it so rigerously to create radio shows, i don't feel i would take it to that extreme but i definatley plan on looking at using through my next TP. Has anyone come across anyother podcasting software for me to try?

Super dooper music looper!

I was amazed with just how easy this program was to use and i am now very keen myself to impliment it in school. I have always been a huge fan of music but have never been musically gifted or taken enough time and effort to become so. But with this program it gives the pupil/child the chance to create their own peices of music for whatever purpose and not have to even pick up an instrument. I am very impressed with the program and can't wait to get it myself! I would like to know if anyone has seen it in school and how it was used? good/bad or whatever?
Following having trouble putting my work from the lecture onto blogger, i have now used e-snips which has been very user friendly and have successfully uploaded all my work from ICT this term. Here is the link http://www.esnips.com/web/hellisforheroesisshawnsStuff/ , hope all the work is up to your expectations.

Animation making

I really enjoyed making my animation, however i did underestimate how much time and effort it would take. I would like to know of other peoples techniques and ideas of how they created it. If you could tell me what props, camera's, programs etc that you used and how easy/hard it was to use it would be much appreciated,

Hope you enjoy!
