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

A bit of ICT, but not for class work. As mentioned in the last post, I did a wee abseil thing for CHSS at the Falkirk Wheel. My family came along in support (to see Daddy not fall) and my wife kindly shot some video. As a first effort at using Windows Movie Maker I...

I know this blog is for logging my use of ICT, not self publicity, but as noted in my last post there's not been much scope for getting much new stuff done of late. In an entirely unrelated vein I have signed up to do a small charity thing, jumping off this... I'm doing a...

Been back at school for three weeks now, give or take, with a new (completely full) timetable, Argyll & Bute's ICT in Secondary program looming, Captivate 3 to play with, SETT coming up, a few training opportunities in the pipeline and a move to the new school on the horizon for Feb 2008. Yet to...

I found this by accident whilst mindlessly surfing - SUPER HERO QUIZ I'm not at all sure of its accuracy, but do try it - apparently this is me.... You are - Iron Man Iron Man 85% Spider-Man 80% Green Lantern 70% Batman 65% Hulk 60% The Flash 60% Catwoman 50% Supergirl 50% Superman 45%...

Having dipped my toe into producing quizzes for my subject using Captivate 2 (thanks to Andrew Brown for his tutorials), I recently received details allowing me access to the authority's Breeze server. I've now made a couple of quizzes using the Breeze plug-in (for which Andrew has promised tutorials in the near future), and it seems to work in a...

I posted this already yesterday, but it wasn't there tonight when I looked. On checking my posts it had become 'Private', and therfore not visible. I have no idea how this happened, nor do I know how to restore the original post, so here is yesterday's post again......  Bob, talented man that he is, has now...
