Please use this area to share ideas and materials connected to the course and to let us know how it goes if you try something out in class. You can also recommend good web sites or seek advice from colleagues. Most of all we want you to join in and support each other.

We would have liked to save our work but were not asked to bring our memory sticks, we think this would have been useful.
Thankyou Dawn and Chris! It was a really useful and enjoyable day and, unlike some courses, it actually provided solutions to problems we already had rather than raising new ones. The fact that everyone can access the materials is really helpful and the practical element was so valuable – there is never time to sit and play ordinarily! {It must have been good if I can face logging on at home to write a comment!?!}
Photostory 3 is a really great resource. We’re sure you will agree when you find out a little bit more about it!
Love the ideas and time to have a go.
Have learnt lots of new things and can’t wait to get back to school to try it out. Particularly impressed with Comic Story
We don’t know what to write!!!
We are looking forward to learning new things. We have had great fedabck from our staff who have already attended this course . They are already using things learned to support their teaching and have shared good practice in staff meetings!! xx
We have also had good feedback from Phil Adams who has been using clips from films to support writing, with excellent results!
We enjoyed using Windows Movie Maker to combine our Photo Story video with our Smart Video.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the information today, and how useful it is to be able to have a play with the new software. Have already downloaded comic life and shown hubby what it can do. Will be arranging with the head tomorrow about getting licenses for school.
