ICT presentation and all the other essays, aagghhh!!

so although our medium term plan is the most detailed thing I have ever seen i am lloking forward to having to present this to the class, such joy for 3 hours of our day ;)
Been using the internet loads lately for essays and I am ow a pro at referencing websites and electronic journals for anyone who isn't, lol.
I calculate that this is the last blog that I need do for my ICT presentation and I must say I probably wil delete it after that. In a society where they have done studies saying how conversation skills are diminishing because of WEB 2.0 I'd like to think that i would still rather have someone tell me about their day and important things in their life than read about them. This does not mean I am not moving with the times just that I value my friends and conversations, the personal touch. And failing that there is always Facebook, hehe!!

Flowol - an aid to understanding flow charts

So currently sat in ICT doing something called a Flowol. Hmm the mobile one was fun as you didn't need to do it to any set order and i got to just mess around with it. This can help children grasp the concept of flow charts which I actually found difficult to grasp as a primary child. It would also be good to give children set instructions to follow to create the correct sequence.
Next week we have our ICT presentation I am so glad that we do it just in our class can you imagine comparing ours to the ICT groups... hmm would their's really be any better?!
