This week in ICT our task was to create a 2D animation. In the session we played around with different ideas, and tried out the timings,so that the movement appeared to be smooth. To do this we used a digi blue camera. This is a really easy piece of equipment, and can be used for a range of different things, such as looking at an image on the IWB (this way all children will be able to see the object in front of you). I will upload some images of our animation next week so you can see how our group got on.

Animations!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuGaqLT-gO4
I got this from Ruebens page. It was worth watching because it shows just how animations can be made. As we are making our own animations this week in our ICT lecture i think that this videoclip gives a good idea as to the levels we can go to with our work.
Although i am a little worried about making an animation, due to my lack of knowledge in this area, i feel excited at the same time,because if i can make one successfully then i will be able to take this skill into school, and make some of my lessons more creative my getting children to make their own...this will be good for those children who get bored easily in lessons (boys especially) because i think it is something different, and so catches childrens attention.

My first blog!!
Although I have had access to ICT from a very young age, I always seem to have a niggle at the back of my mind about it. From the lectures this week I have seen that in the Primary School, ICT can be very useful, and children use things, like "blogging" everyday, with no worries whatsoever!
Today I have been able to see that in actual fact teachers can work with children (by using blogs and other Web 2.0 materials) to make learning fun! Such as creating a blog to record topic work, creating their own Wiki site etc...This is the main reason for this blog...im practising, so that when I become a teacher, this will be like second nature to me!
