Sunnynook Middle Syndicate ICTPD on KidPix

Friday 23rd April, 2010

Preparing for session - learnt a few things about th

e KidPix tools, also saving a slideshow as a Quicktime

movie so that individual slides do not have to be included in the sli

deshow - comes as self

contained movie.

Before the KidPix session began - explained how to log

onto server

The day was busy - morning spent looking at the tool buttons and giving colleagues the opportunity to explore the features. All agreed that KidPix is a powerful programme, especially liked the templates that are provided.

Discussed how we would use with our students - some apprehension about how we keep ahead in terms of our knowledge........... just let the students go for it and allow them to become the teachers. Encouraged staff to keep working with KP and develop a few steps at a time.

In the afternoon teachers worked through what we covered on their own or with a partner. Vivienne took one group to look at using data projector.

Also looked at how individual slides can be incorporated into a SlideShow and briefly examined transitions & sounds.
