Carry on Learning: July 2014
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Sunday, July 27, 2014. More post Game of Thrones reading. Before you read on, don't expect a critically written post about books I have read; this is merely a list of books that I have managed to read (and enjoyed) during a busy term at school. As always 'scuse the grammar/typos. I'm not great at proof reading my own work (as proved this week when I was mortified at missing out an apostrophe. Eeek! I no longer have the right to criticise those who add them willy-nilly!

Carry on Learning: Digital Literacy
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015/04/digital-literacy.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Sunday, April 12, 2015. When I first created the Digital Literacy page for my iPad site. I took the title literally and included all sorts of great apps to support children's developing literacy skills. Then I read other educators' work, such as Doug Belshaw's, which pointed me in the direction of things like Future Lab's ideas, from It's Not Chalk and Talk Any More. This made me realise that I needed to change my thinking - and the website page! In their computing guide.

Carry on Learning: November 2014
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Another super little app for early programming. Like ALEX this will appeal to my year 2 children because it involves robots. There are some great things about this free app too. Firstly, you have to complete the first levels before you can unlock and access the harder ones. There are 24 levels altogether- pretty good for a freebie! With turns, grabs and drops. The notion of 'if at first you don't succeed.' is great, but I don't want chil...

Carry on Learning: Bugs and buttons
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015/05/bugs-and-buttons.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Sunday, May 3, 2015. This morning I am exploring some more apps that are great for EYFS and children with SEN in ks1. Little Bit studio have made a range of 'bug' apps that look beautiful, because of the brightly coloured high-definition graphics. They definitely feel like the high quality resource you would want to be using in the classroom. I will share her views once I have them. A quick snapshot of some of the games. Here are the other games that you can play. Find ...

Carry on Learning: Blox 3d world
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015/04/blox-3d-world.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Friday, April 24, 2015. This evening I've been having a quick play with Blox 3d world, which was free yesterday via apps gone free. I liked the look of it because it reminded me of kodu, but on the iPad. Granted it doesn't allow you to program elements like kodu, in fact it is very basic, but I've still had fun creating my very own Westeros. There are some tutorials that you can watch, which will show you how to create things based on the type of world you want to build.

Carry on Learning: Successful resources for the computing curriculum
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015/05/successful-resources-for-computing.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Successful resources for the computing curriculum. Last Thursday #DLChat focused on successful resources that have been used in the computing curriculum. I started a gdoc. This differs in the crowd-sourced computing document. As it is not just ones that are known, but ones that have been used. I have blogged about many computing resources. Please be patient, your comment will be posted once moderated. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Passionate ...

Carry on Learning: June 2014
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Saturday, June 7, 2014. When I was previously chewing over the issue of homework, which I blogged about here. I received a terrific response to the crowd-sourced document. With a range of different approaches being added. I subsequently created my own half term documents for maths. Because of its success I have created a similar homework document for our seaside topic this half term, which incorporates some spelling investigations too. I can't wait to see what they ...

Blogging - For added flavour, liberally sprinkle some ICT
http://beinspiredbyict.weebly.com/blogging.html
For added flavour, liberally sprinkle some ICT. What's it all about? Ipad apps for education. Camera, film, action! On this page you will find some examples of class blogs as well as blogs for sharing ideas and resources that may help your professional development. It will show you different uses of blogs and hopefully inspire you to create your own. We use blogs at. To jazz up a static website. This also means that the website content is not the responsibility of a single person. This is my class blog.

Carry on Learning: Learn to Code
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015/05/learn-to-code.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Saturday, May 16, 2015. I have long been a fan of the Rising Stars Switched on ICT units because of the way that they cover ICT in a creative way, supporting teachers who have low confidence in covering he curriculum. With the move to the computing curriculum, Rising Stars have responded quickly, with a set of Learn to Code books, written by Claire Lotriet @ohlottie. Ensuring the Scratch instructions work! So my year 5 code club (which includes some digital leaders) hav...

Carry on Learning: February 2015
http://carryonlearning.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Reflections of a lifelong learner. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Two iPad apps for early computing. These two apps were freebies that I installed via apps gone free. The first is called RGB express and much to my surprise I was quite impressed with it! The aim is to get your truck to the garage, sometimes picking up cargo on the way. You plan your route, then finger swipe the way you want your truck to go. Press play and you're off! It's a nice introduction to writing algorithms and the commands are visible...
