Animations

In last weeks lesson we looked at the differernt technology in education. Using our wiki's from the week before we made a presentation and showed the class. My presentation included the new 21st century technology such as whiteboards and computers and how they help children.
We then went onto look at animations. Mandy told us about an application called "2simple". Here we created our own individual animations

We then presented them to the class and told classmates how we did it.

Creating a Wiki

In last weeks lesson, Mandy put us into groups of 3. I was in a group with Lucy and Sophie. Mandy gave each group a topic, ours was "Education of today in Wales." Within the group we had subtitles and had to go onto the internet to find information. My title was "What is the technology like in Schools in Wales?" I visited different internet sites and found that teachers are now using 21st century technology such as whiteboards and computers.

Preparation

We are now starting to focus on our first assignment in Mandy Peace's lesson. We have to make a portfolio of a specific thing. I think this can be anything you want. Mandy gave us older assignments and we had to give them a grade A-E and then she told us their actual grade. We got given an assignment each, I had a boys portfolio which was all about his life in the army before Uni. There was alot of writing about what he had acheived, yet not detailed photographs or drawings so unfortunatly it did not catch my eye. Infact it was quite bland. The girls sitting next to me however, had a girls portfolio, the girl told the story of her life having pictures of a girls holiday, her brothers and sisters and her hobbies etc. The pages were bright and so colourful so I would give her an A!
