foolfillment: the blog

Just saw this great example of using new technology to get young pupils to record experiments

Series and Parallel Circuits

Why require pupils to draw symbol-based circuit diagrams when the important information at that age is what they did and what happened?

(I really wish there was space in the timetable for some Tech Studies in 1st year and beyond at Ross…)

I’ve been playing with Srapblog again, here’s a work in progress of my trip to NZ last year, it’ll grow in time (another thing I plan to do in the Summer).

Another post about a resource, I’ve just found Scrapblog (via meish.org). This tool lets you easily create scrap book style webpages where you can bring in photos from loads of different sites like flickr and photobucket, videos form youTube, then style them as you like, add text and colours.

Once it’s done you can publish it to a load of different places, you can produce DVDs, or flickr photosets, or books, even embed it in your own website.

It seem very easy to use and links in with loads of different sites so it could be a fantastic tool to use in schools to create reports about school trips, experiments, shows, anything.

Go and have a look at the scrapblog tour to see how easy it is to use.
