How Come?

At my last ICT Curriculum meeting, I suggested that we need to find more suitable and have a larger variety of programs  for the Early Stage One and Stage One students. In my quest to find    suitable programs I came upon the Starfall and Panwapa websites via NJ Tech Teacher Musing. Both are now resources on my MyClasses page and del.icio.us.  I will be recommending them to Year One and Kindergarten.

Last week my son brought home his autobiography that he wrote and published at school. The last page contained a collection of photos with captions. He said that his team used Comic Life  to create the page. I left it at that.

Then the other day, while I reading Derick’s Blog  he referred to Jane Hart’s Top 100 Tools for Learning 2008  and there at number 79 was Comic Life so I downloaded the 30 day trail.

Since then, the whole family has a go at using this creative program. It is simple to use and the results are amazing.

I will be showing this program to the staff when school returns after the holidays. I hope to use it with my Year 2 students in the coming months.
