ICT Communicating |
||
Communicating is what ICT is all about - it's what the middle letter stands for, after all (more or less). Often Modelling resources can be used for this area of ICT, and you will find some here, but this time it's all about getting an idea across, whether that's imparting wisdom to the little ones, or them demonstrating their understanding to you. |

Art |
|
Teaching Art using a computer, is very different from teaching Art as a subject. You see, when children, of Primary age, have spent all their lives mastering the pencil and the paint brush, why would they want to swap them for a mouse or graphics tablet? These alien artistic tools can be a hindrance to the budding artist, so why do we try? Well, here's the rub. For good reason, the computer is used to simulate more conventional artists' tools, therefore we have created a more relevant Art section (for the ICT teacher, at least) on the Modelling page. |

MyWorld notes |
|
Several files on this page were created for use with MyWorld for both RISCOS and Windows. MyWorld was a powerful application designed for drag and drop activities, before the web browser and Flash provided the capability. Since MyWorld is no longer in common use, most of these files will gradually be updated for use within a web browser.
