Lacon Childe ICT Weblog

Year 8 have been using Google Docs to help them with their Internet Research Project.  I think GoogleDocs are cool; what do you think?  IF cool - why?  If uncool, what’s the problem with them?  Can you think of other subjects where they could be helpful, or other topics in ICT where they would have helped in Key Stage 3?  Add your thoughts - use your digital brain email as the email address and don’t forget to use your username not your real name, please.

Now that you have finished your Yrs 7-9, I want to know:

What is the BEST thing you have done in ICT in the past 3 yrs?  Why did you like it so much?

What is the WORST thing you have done in ICT in the past 3 yrs?  Why did you hate it so much?

Have you chosen ICT or BCS for your options?  Which?  If you have, why have you chosen the subject?  If you haven’t why not?

For this post, you can be totally honest.  You don’t have to give your name if you don’t want to; just put anon as your name and anon@ethink.org as your email address.  I’d rather read what you really think!

Now that we have finished the year (almost!) I’d like to know what you think was the best thing you have done in ICT this year.  And what you liked about it.

Then (uh-oh!) what was the worst thing you have done in ICT?  What did you hate about it?

You can be honest - but not rude!  Concentrate on the lessons, the teaching and not the people!

Remember to use your username please!

Have a look at my cupboard door design.  I think it is suitable for an older customer because it uses colours and curvy edges that were trendy when an older person was young.  It is shiny so it will be easy to clean.  But I had to make it in publisher so it doesn’t have very interesting patterns.

What do YOU think of my design?  Could it be improved?  Could I have used a differnt software package?  Add a comment - use your USERNAME!

How do you guys suggest we should assess the rollercoaster work?  What criteria would you like to use?  What method do you think would work best?  How can we tie this in with the National Curriculum levels?

Year 9 have done their ICT SATs tests this week. Well guys, what did you think of the whole experience?  Which bits were good - or not?!  Let us know so we can give some feedback to the government people who made the tests.
