Today’s class explored our attitudes to money. We watched two videos and completed a questionnaire, sometimes people have a different attitude to money than you may expect. Progress in this unit will be recorded in the class work book.
A look to the future
We will be starting this topic just before Easter. I thought I might give you a taste of it. [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/-E-0PNDcfh4″ width=”425″ height=”344″ allowfullscreen=”true” fvars=”fs=1″ /] I have also been creating a Glow Learn area with the material for the course.
E-Portfolios
Both classes have now finished creating the e-portfolios and we will shortly learn how to add more material to them.
Creating a new e-Portfolio post
It’s important to regularly update your e-Portfolio, it would be easy to leave it for a while and forget what you had achieved and how you had got there.
Opening your e-Portfolio
There are two ways to get to your e-Portfolio Log into Glow and open the Glow group containing your e-Portfolio. Bookmark your e-Portfolio and then open it directly in future.
Uploading a new picture to your e-Portfolio
Well I think its about time to get rid of that old primary school picture and replace it with something a little bit more up to date.
ePortfolios
Well after two lessons we are up and running with ePortfolios in the class room. There is still a lot to do but we have everything we need set up and working.

PowerPoint Christmas Cards
This lesson is based on last years Disco Lights project. It’s a festive time of year and I thought it might be good to create an animated Christmas card. (Teacher note:- this lesson can be adapted for any type of festivity)
Wow, where has the time gone?
I never managed to make a start at this at the start of the year and to be honest the weeks have flown in. I will be changing a few things on the page over the next week or so, please check back often to find new content and ideas. Leave comments and I will get back to you.
