Made an Animoto movie using the Cfe wordles I did yesterday, for want of any other images to hand. I was hoping to get an idea of how easy or otherwise it'd be for pupils to use (assuming websense allows access - must check tomorrow). Took a while to render, and I rushed the choice...

Had a go at putting some CfE Third & Fourth Level Physics E&O's together into wordles, mainly for brightening up my room, but thought they might help me to focus on the essence of each sub topic when developing new courses. In no particular order -

After meaning to try a wordle for ages I finally had a go. Not bad for a first effort eh?

Just spent over an hour using 'Glow Meet' with Sinclair Mackenzie trying out the video conferencing and having a few scribbles on the white board. I wanted to try it out before attempting a demo at Teachmeet:Physics on Thursday, where I'm doing a wee thing on using Glow in the classroom. Another Glow evangelist -...

Saw this done at a SSERC course and thought I'd try it with some classes. To save the massive expense of multiple tins of tomatoes I got a pupil to video the demo using a busbi video camera. Et voila! Forces Demo

It was supposed to be so easy....... Finish up the S2 'Food & Digestion' unit with a few problem solving tasks, a bit of 'cross curricular' with hints of ICT, Home Economics and Modern Studies, all wrapped up in some of the CfE capacities. And then WebSense ruined it all. Task 1 - We wanted...

I'd love to be able to answer that question, but unfortunately my home PC is under spec'ed to do it justice - graphics card not up to the job of rendering the terabytes of images. Nor is my school machine - lovely MacPCBookWinProXP - able to do it justice, simply because Websense will not allow...

At last, we've moved in to the new Hermitage Academy, and it is a truly fantastic place to be. As well a first class building, we have loads of cracking ICT - Smartboards, Promethean boards and E-beams all over the place; a new campus-wide wireless network, with very fast links to file servers and 'Click...

Like youtube, but for teachers, and accessible through the school filtering! (for now) http://www.teachertube.com/index.php
