Students @ Sidcot
02/10/10 05:33
students at sidcot is perhaps the main project this year - developing the art department website into a social networking site like facebook, and then getting students to use the site creatively. I have called this section of the website facepaint - students can log in and blog, build galleries, create groups, share interests, share links to interesting things that they have found.
CDM @ Sidcot

CDM stands for Creative Digital Media - this is a wordpress site that Nathan Mcgurl has set up for us, so that students at Sidcot who are keen on digital media can have their own websites.

Creative Digital Media SAC
30/09/10 06:49
The idea of the creative digital media sac is to produce a course that is all exploration - taking the course where the students want to go, with no fixed syllabus of schemes of work.

The course will be an exploration for both me and the students.

CPD
29/09/10 07:25
This is a suggestion from SC that I decide on some CPD sessions that I could do for teachers at Sidcot - but perhaps I could also put down some of my ideas around the adobe suite, ipod touches and iphones, google docs, weebly, scrapblog, flickr etc,
