When I first came up against these interactive sites, I nearly gave up in frustration.  Keep persevering and as a final resort, ask me for a clue to get you going.  Hovering until you get a hand to point at something is a great way to start.

I won’t add the flash player version here as it doesn’t load well in Edublogs at the moment.

Photo from my collection travelling in Canada.

You are shown many photos to choose from, then can drag and drop or create freehand a poem or significant line to add to the photo.

As we are doing work using the multiple intelligences, perhaps you could create a collage, with one liners for each type of intellignece.

I did this by graduating in all levels in spelling, graduating all levels in tables and beginning to graduate in algebra.  Even as a teacher, I find some of the top levels very challenging especially against some students from countries with a high education standard such as India, China and the Scandinavian countries.

 If you want to take a picture of where you are, use the print screen button on your keyboard, then go into a paint type program to crop and resize your picture.  Save on your drive then upload to your blog.

WOW was this tough!!  I selected the game called “Shaping up” to improve my visual skills.  Have a go at some of the others and perhaps write your own post or comment here about how you went in the game. 

What was difficult?  What was easy?  Remember though to challenge yourself.

All posts about the competition will now have stubc08 in the tags and as a category, so if you use Technorati, you will be able to find the posts.  It would be easier though to look through the categories in my blogroll. If any teachers or students write posts about the competition, could they also use this as a tag and category. Please make sure the 08 is zero eight not the letter ‘o’.

Ines is translating the posts into Portuguese to put on her blog so her students can also participate in both English and Portuguese.

Sue Waters and I are working on a way to keep tab of the comments made by students, that will be simple for young students to follow and easy for teachers to keep a check on.  One way would be for students to type their comments in a single word document and save this each time.  They can copy and paste into comment boxes from a word document.  This document might be able to be used at the end to create a Wordle for each student to see what words they used most often in their comments.

 It shows the visitors to our blog and the flag of the country they are in.  This might help you work out where our visitors are coming from on our cluster map and feedjit map.

 Have you found any great widgets for those students not yet 13 years old?
