Music program continued

Following downloading the Fruity loop studio, i found itnot to be what i was looking for. It was not user friendly or quite what i wanted, it would be perfect for a proffessional musician who was looking to record backing to a track. Upon further investigation and disscussion with my housemates, we found http://www.jamstudio.com/, which was perfect. It was just the program i was looking for, very userfriendly, quite simple and offers good quality sound. I would love it if you could try this site out for yourself and tell me what you think of it? could you use it in school? what do you think the benefits are? thanks

Stickfigure sucessful and Music programs

Following the recent recommendation of the stickfigure animator, i found it to be very useful and very user friendly. I would like to know if there are any free downloadable extras/props? this is defniatley something i will be trying to bring into my next practice. I have also had disscusions with my fellow house mates and wondered if there was a possible program that could be used to create music? does any one know of any that are free to test and see if it would be useful? i am currently downloading fruity loop studio and will report back on its usefulness! thanks for listening

First Post

Following my previous practice i had a year one class, ICT lessons often consisted of using a single program called clicker which is to aid pupils with sentence composition. I often found the pupils not to gain much from this experience. They would often just click on random buttons to create a sentence and when they were asked to read it back to you, then 9/10 they were unable to retell you what they had created.
I realise that finding a suitable program for year one classes is quite hard however has anyone come across any which might be better than the one i have described? or has has anyone seen the program clicker used effectivley within a key stage one class and could perhaps tell me how it was put into practice effectivley?
