Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0
http://ictcaro.blogspot.com/2010/07/inspiration-8-ie-it-would-be-good-idea.html
Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0. Monday, July 26, 2010. Inspiration 8 IE - a great visual mapping tool that does both mind maps and concept maps. It's really easy to use because of the drag and drop interface. There are enough pictures supplied with the program so that meaningful work can be done without too much program knowledge - excellent for play! When the images get boring it's a very simple copy/paste to get new ones from the internet. There's a 30-day trial on the Inspiration website. With a mind m...

Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0: October 2010
http://ictcaro.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0. Monday, October 18, 2010. Ideos of animators doing their work as well as tutorials for better productions. It's run by the ABC and particularly aimed at kids living in rural Australia who may not have access to the excursions and incursions available in the city. Build your Wild Self. This is actually quite fun. With Build Your Wild Self. I like the idea of students using this to create an avatar for social networking sites they use (in fact, I have used mine for the profil...

Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0: August 2010
http://ictcaro.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0. Monday, August 16, 2010. The Bat and the Butterfly. My storyboard from "The Bat and the Butterfly". Today's first task was to watch an Aboriginal dreamtime video from the ABC's. It's a useful exercise for the classroom to have children pinpoint key events, and filter for important information. M and M's Maths. There's an application for all age groups here. For the very young, simply sorting the candy into colours is helping to develop those logico-mathematical skills t...

Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0: ePortfolio
http://ictcaro.blogspot.com/2010/08/eportfolio.html
Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0. Monday, August 2, 2010. EPortfolios are useful in two ways: first, to get a job and second, to implement in classrooms. Next year, the Ultranet is going to be the main way to create ePortfolios so using Publisher seems a bit outdated. We started our session today with a discussion of what sections are in an ePortfolio, and then about the actual application and interview itself. Diving in California - 20 mins worth of Brochure Design. Our second task was to create a website ...

Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0: Ribbit
http://ictcaro.blogspot.com/2010/08/ribbit.html
Classroom and beyond: ICT 2.0. Monday, August 9, 2010. Problem to be solved:. Make a frog jump. 1 paper frog, 1 strip of cardboard, 1 rubber band, 1 piece of tape 6cm long. Mary and I used a Design Brief form to come up with ideas to make our frog jump. First we thought we should twist the rubber band and somehow use the stored energy, but we couldn't work out how to do that. We then thought about some sort of slingshot where you flicked the rubber band, but that didn't work either. Greg said that he did...
