Publishing Artwork

Every week, students create and publish artwork to go with their writing. The artwork is then uploaded to our blog for all to see. You can access the latest artwork by watching the slideshow to the right of your screen. To have a look at past artwork, you can click on the slideshow (away from the play button) and you will brought through to the web albums full of archived artwork.

To find out the name of the artist, you'll need to to be viewing the archived web albums mentioned above. On the right side of the Picasa Web Albums screen there is an option for "more info". After one click on that, the filename of the artwork will be displayed, revealing the name of the artist.

In Room 18, we use the locally developed software 'Art Rage 2'. There is a link on the left side of your screen under 'General Links' should you want to download the starter version of the Art Rage 2. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Cheers,
Mr. Nash

Podcasting

We integrate ICT with our oral language programme. We use a microphone and laptop to record what we're saying. So far, we have been learning to:

1) Introduce ourselves.

2) Check the distance (holding the microphone the correct distance away from ourselves).

3) Use a big, clear voice!

To access our latest podcast, click on the play button in the 'Podcasting' box at the right of your screen. For past episodes of our podcasts, you'll need to click on the 'POSTS' button in the 'Podcasting' box.

Cheers,

Mr. Nash
