ICTOPUS sharing good practise!

I have just had another article published on ICTOPUS on our schools use of KLP! Please take a look if you think the ideas may work for you.

Here is the link:

The current article is regarding our world links (SPG138), I have also had articles on our KLP usage in SPG76, 84 and 95!

I do hope they may be of use to you.

Panarama!

Just decided to take the plunge and re-create our school website using the possibility of creating a public space on KLP! Up until now, I have been managing both KLP and our website - too much to do!

So, with a blank canvas (so to speak) and loads of inspiration, I set to work!

Having managed to attend Tim Rylands keynote speech at the  recent ICT conference I was awe inspired to get going on ‘all’ (no I know you can’t do it all at once!) his fabulous ideas.  The picture above, however, was one of the easiest, most effective and versatile  pieces of ICT that I have created in a while…

As Tim showed with ease the creating of a Panarama, I simply couldn’t wait!

· I stood in the best spot on our playground with trusty Flip cam in hand

· I filmed a very steady 180 degrees arc around my position

· Uploaded the image into flipshare

· Cut the various snapshots as necessary

· Opened Microsoft Ice (free download)

· Dragged in the relevant images

· Watched as in seconds the Panarama was created

· Cropped

· Uploaded it onto KLP where our new school website is being created

· Simples!

I am very impressed with the result and it looks great at the head of our new website!
