I’ve just realised that I’ve been ‘doing ICT’ without realising it!
Getting the pupils to use the internet for research is now standard practice. Blogging remains easier to talk about than action! And the issue of spam in Edublogs is getting to critical level. Beyond that?

My forays into the P1-4 class has focused on them creating a Comic version of “The Wise Doll”. Oohs and Ahhs all round from the children. Comic Life has so much potential across every curricular and planning areas. We had taken the Russian tale, read it together, reenacted it through Drama, looked at Freeze Frames then moved onto using the digital camera to take key snaps of the plot, with pupils taking the roles. Then we placed the pictures into Comic Life frames, discussing how we could summarise the action with just a caption.

Now, it looks as if we’re going to attempt a mini enterprise by selling their comic version to friends and family. So order here for your copy!
