Anyone for a holiday?

Here is my brochure. I got so caught up in it and I only had about 10 minutes to do it in. This type of presentation forms a fresh, new, informative way to present information. Students can get creative with text, pictures and designs. As said by Sir Ken Robinson, 'We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it.' Having technology available to students in order to express things in a different form instead of pen and paper plays an important roll in allowing them to express and explore their creativity. With activities such as this, there is no room for boundaries. The possibilities are almost endless.

Inspired by Inspiration

Hi, I am writing my first blog. Now i understand why people can get so addicted to this. There are endless possibilities. This was really exciting. It is such a valuable tool to be able to present and research information while being able to make connections that children are able to comprehend. Inspiration is vital as it bring a new component of interest to each task that is at hand. It give opportunity fro students to be creative while completing areas of work teacher will need to be assessing. Another aspect of this program which I found really useful for teachers use as well as students was the hyperlink tool. After playing around with the program I worked out that it is a simple and straight forward program to use...It is very exciting!!
