Took a hands-on session today after school: logging on to server and where to save work, Education City, Banner, Print Explosion, new digital cameras.
There have beeen a few problems as to where exactly save work on our server. I was able to show how to do this. We have started our trial of Education City. No problems logging on and staff, and myself had an exploratory session with some of the activities. It looks quite easy and straightforeward to use and I think that staff and pupils will enjoy using this online resource. Time will tell, watch this space! I also showed staff a couple of good applications: Banner, whch produces some great banners with pictures, and Print Explosion, an application whic I believe is for Mac only. Lots and lots of templates here for all sorts of creative work in desktop publishing. Time went quick, many staff stayed beyond the hour to explore different resources, especially Education City.

Interested to hear about the banner program. We’ve been looking for a new banner prog. having failed to track down a new version of Bannermania.
Can you give me more details please?

Elspeth, It’s the simplest tool to use, produced by KudlianSoft and distributed by several comanies including REM, and costs about £12 if I remember correctly. It’s cross platform though it is only only for use on macos X on macs. Hope this helps.
