Anybody watch it? I only discovered it recently. So what, you might say? Well, amongst other interesting stuff, they review resources and websites, show snippets and children using them. So what did I do in My McCrone time today? Watched TV! Well for some of it. The Primary ICT prog was interesting. Ok some it exemplified my pet hate of showcase ICT ( there is a difference between this and showing examples of good practice, subtle though that difference might be, but it can give you ideas) as compared to, this is what we really do. Quite good to feel I was up to scratch with what they were talking about and was doing something right, though! Today they were having a look at an online publishing site for children where they can place their stories, and the ones voted for are published in an anthology, a real offline book. Many of the programmes are online and can be downloaded for CPD sessions, from Teachers TV. Have a look, why don’t you?
Oh and…..
Birmingham City Council have many excellent whiteboard resources and links to lots of others. So there’s no need to reinvent the wheel till you’ve had a look, there, too.
Do you have Sky at school?
I meant to download to computer, at home.
