The Adobe Digital Kids Club is a great place to start – in fact you may not need to look anywhere else! The site is packed with tips, tutorials, projects and more. Highly Recommended. A site called Photoshop Elements Techniques has a few good tutorials and other goodies for you. Here are some nice images for you to practice with.

Lovely Bubbly…

Very excited to share BubbleShare with you. This Ajax based app allows you to upload photos, create albums, add audio, create slideshows that you can post to your blog, create a photocast and lots, lots more. The look and feel of BubbleShare is top notch – it’s fast and very slick. It has the coolest zoom tool ‘thing’ too – you’d be mad not to take a look at this.

…no, I’m not talking about Google Earth but one of our other favourite resources panoramas.dk. It’s what projectors were invented for! What a magical way to motivate children to think, discuss and write. Don’t forget that you can use the capture tool in most IWB software to bring these images into your flipcharts.
If you’ve used this in a lesson, please share your ideas with us!

Take the 60 Second challenge!

The BBC is looking for UK school students to take up the challenge of creating their own sixty second interpretation of Shakespeare. Make a film or audio, interpret a scene or a whole play, keep it classic or make it modern, it’s up to you.
