Glogster and Comic Life

I worked with trainee teachers and tutors from six European countries this week, as part of an Erasmus Intensive Programme on intercultural awareness.

I am looking forward to seeing the results ...

Ookaboo

The bizarrely-named Ookaboo website is a project aiming to gather together images of 'everything on earth'! All pictures on Ookaboo are in the public domain or are under Creative Commons, which means that they can be used freely, without copyright worries. Given its extensive nature, the site isn't entirely e-safe for children's unsupervised use, but it is an excellent, growing resource for teachers.

This week B.Ed Primary Yr 2 students made resources for use with interactive whiteboards, bearing in mind the key quote from Higgins, Wall & Smith's research - 'The visual helps me understand the complicated things'. Some examples in Smart Notebook 10 format (unless otherwise indicated) below - made as visual resources to support teacher explanation and questioning.

New stop motion animations are now available @ www.youtube.com/user/tonypickford. Created by Yr 2 B.Ed students, I have added some sound effects and music using iMovie. Visit Oscar Stringer's Animation for Education website for examples and practical advice on creating animations with children. The Film Education website is also a useful starting point, giving an overview of different types and approaches to animation. There is also a useful video on Teacher's TV which shows a stop motion animation project with key stage 2 children.

Yr 2 B.Eds worked on images today - making images that showed progression in tools and techniques, followed by image manipulation and making inspired by the work of Andy Warhol. A web gallery was used to make the point that on-screen images can be seen as finished products, obviating the need to print out. Images were manipulated using PhotoFiltre (a free download) and the Picnik website.
