Year 8
Tutorials can be a learner's best friend! They provide a step-by-step explanation on how to do something.
We are going to do a tutorial instructing us how to create digital story using PhotoStory 3 for Windows.
Here are a couple of links to get you started;-)
First - Watch the photostory on creating a photostory (hahahaha).
Then follow this tutorial: http://millie.furman.edu/mll/tutorials/photostory3/index.htm
You choose the topic as this is just practice.

Year 8 - Welcome to ICT!
Blogs are primarily a communication tool. People are more motivated when their blogs are visited and comments are made. I love visiting your blogs. However, I have more than 115 blogs to visit and, unfortunately, am unable to make it to all of your blogs on a timely basis.
Therefore, we will organize groups whereby students within that group will visit and comment on each other's blogs and actively participate in each other's learning. Also, invite your friends and family to visit your process journal/blog.Create a link list in the side bar to add links to the other members of your group.
Way to go Year 8. This is going to be a great term!
