The Digital Leader lesson on Google Maps!!

Today the Digital Leaders gave a brilliant lesson to Maple class on Google Maps. This was a good chance for the children (and teachers) to learn lots more about Google Maps and how the app works. We showed the class how to add a pin point, draw a shape to high light a place, draw a route and how to login to their account... There will be some videos and photos on the lesson in the next blog post....

Digital Leader Tech Show!

At the open evening tonight our wonderful Digital Leaders hosted a technology show - parents and children go to try their hands at lots of different activities, including various iPad apps, reading the weather on the green screen, beebots, animation, scratch and sketch-up. Well done to all the Digital Leaders!!!

Year five clocks!

Year five went on a trip to the Belvedere School technology department a while ago to make some home made clocks!

Apple Apps!

As we have had our six iPad's now for a while, I thought it wold be great to share some apps with you.

• iMovie (£2.99) - creates great looking movies.
• Splice (free or £2.49) - like iMovie, this puts together some great video's.
• BeFunky (free or 69p) - Edits your photos with some great effects, borders and more
• X-Plane 9 (£5.99 - expensive!!!) - A tricky app to use, but this teaches you to fly planes with a great simulator and loads of common planes today.
• Action Movie FX (free) - Creates stunning Hollywood Movie Effects on your iDevice, with the camera.

These 5 apps are my favourite Apple Apps, have fun with them!
(Note: Ask parents' permission before downloading paid apps.)

Jack B's Blogger Safety Tip!

Jack has made this fantastic tutorial on how to remove the 'next blog' button on a Blogger blog. The piece of code you will need is:
#navbar { display: none; } #navbar-iframe { display: none !important; }
Remember to add a Blogger button afterwards using 'Layout' - 'Add a gadget' - 'Logo' - this will allow you to click and edit your blog.

A new version of Scratch!

Scratch 2.0 is available to look at now! Have a look at: http://alpha.scratch.mit.edu/
It has a feature that lets you use a webcam in a similar way to a Kinect controller!!!

Scooter boy!

Some of our digital leaders have been hard at work again, producing another wonderful video! Well done!
