a little late, i'm sorry

They worked in groups of 4-6 students, some used Ribbet to creat a collage, other used PhotoPeach to make o short presentation.

Here are some of them:

Back to school

Week 1 is over, had a little chat with my headteacher and the other teschers from the school. I've presented to them the project.

I've selected a class for my first lesson, and made some preparation for this lesson. So I say, I respect the action plan... :)

More about this next week!

Being an ICT Coordinator

Day 4 started with:

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I've learned what an ICT Coordinator has to do, there are many things, interesting things. Moor about them another time.

One of the things is to make the differences between "rabbits" and "turtles".

Talked about Roger's Innovation Adoption Curve - the four types of people: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards!

Trying to convince the mass of a new idea is useless! Convince innovators and early adopters first!

Wiki - Visiting Timisoara

Today we had to do a wiki about sightseeing in Timisoara.
In the morning, in groups of four, one from each county, we've visited an important place in Timisoara. I, and my colleges went to the Opera, took some pictures, made a short movie... and then came back to the hotel.
And then the funny part started: back in our county groups we had to create the wiki in 2h :) everyone had to present the he visited and then together to create the front page!
Here is the result... a short trip through Timisoara: click me!

Ribbet - colaje online

if u want to create a collage i recomand Ribbet. You can find it here and it's free and easy to use! You can add text, effects and other stuff to your collage! Here is a collage of Opera from Timisoara

The second one... visiting Timisoara. There is only one problem with Ribbet, if you misspell something and save the picture you can't undo it... :(

Animals - Storybirs

Application Storybird - kind of easy to use... you can make some nice story with nice picture, but without sound. You must be careful what account type you chose. If you want o quick publishing of a story you should chose a teacher account, on a general account type u'll have to wait for the moderator to approve your story here is a short "story" with animals... the other one is waiting for approval!

A story ... made with PhotoStory 3

A movie about three piggies / Un filmulet cu cei 3 purcelusi: 

The movie was made with PhotoStory 3. It's a really nice application for making small movie. it is easy to use and it dosn't take a long time to do it.
