Antithings Launch
Yesterday at Parkhill Infants school, a new piece of software called Antithings was launched.
It also announced a Redbridge Competition for the software.
Basically Antithings is a very simple, yet powerful animation tool.
Below is an example I made in about 10 minutes.
Its a great price of software and I look forward to using it with my Year 6's. For more details and loads of videos check out the site http://www.anithings.com/

Scratch
Been playing with Scratch today, managed to make a pong game after about 2 hours, still needs to tweaks.
Not quite an alterative to 2diy, since it is complex, not suitable for KS1.
Something to use alongside 2diy. It teaches the ideas if flow diagrams and cause and effect, since to can adjust programmes on the fly with instant results.
This will be shown in a subject leaders session soon.

Using Nintendo DSi in class
Its been a fun week for trying new things out.
We have had new DSi' in school now for about 2 weeks. We have started to use Brain Training to support mental calculation stragies.
When the PTA offered to buy DS' for the school, I convinced them to pay a bit more to get the new DSi.
This week we used the DSi' to support our revision work for creativity week. We where researching countries in Asia and Australiasa. The DSi' where provided as an alterative to a laptop. There was something great about the children in my class engauged in learning using a range of mobile technologies.
