New theme!

Was playing around with this theme in Wordpress but have decided to use it in blogger instead- what do we think?

YCN Deadline

So after a few changes i have now submitted my entry for the YCN student awards.
Check out the final poster design- i changed the background as i thought the blue was a little overbearing.

I'll let you know if i hear anything back.....fingers crossed!

Website Module Update!! Great News!!

Got some good news this week from my tutor, the website i designed for our class assignment has been chosen to use as the live site!

This is awsome news. I will be working on some tweaks to get the site to the clients specifications, but hopefully it will go live soon. Watch this space!

Ineteractive module

Our forth module this year is to produce an interactive e-learning experience for a Key Stage 2 demographic. We can choose any subject within the KS2 curriculum aimed at children aged between 8 and 11.

Initailly i was thinking about covering the language Spanish as my subject, i spoke to my mum who is a primary teacher and therefore has a lot of experience in this field and she said that introducing a foreign language was new to the curriculum and very topical, however looking ahead i dont think that my spanish is good enough to incorporate into an e-learning experience!

I have therefore decided to cover science, as it is a very broad subject and one that i was interested in as a young boy.

The curriculum covers many topics in science and i having had a look at other e-learing exeriences on the internet there was less on the subject of Forces and Motion. I have therefore chosen to cover Forces and Motion, with 4 sub areas; Gravity, Friction, Forces, Magnets.

Firstly i have been doing alot of research as it is important when using Flash that you know exactly the stages and work flow of the site.

I have decided to uses characters within the e-learning site to guide the children through each section,; here are my designs, let me know your favourite!:
