I'm a specialist computing teacher in a large primary school in Bradford, so I basically play around with computers all day! I LOVE anything to do with MakeyMakey and Kodu so a lot of my stuff is based around these programs. I also qualified as a level 2 CAS Master Teacher last year so if you have any tech questions or queries please tweet me @alwayscomputing Please comment and share anything you like!

Hades - Vipers style reading and questioning

(1)
Short text based on the facts and stories of Hades from Greek Mythology. There is a powerpoint and question sheet attached that uses VIPERS style questions for the pupils to answer. Lots of opportunity for discussion throughout the lesson. I used the font ‘Sassoon Primary Infant’ for my editing, so some formatting may be needed after download.

A quick introduction to Google Sketchup, with pupils creating a model of a viking Longhouse. Work is set over a period of 5 weeks, with each lesson adding a step and feature. Variety of skills used. Finally managed to work out how to upload Sketchup files so it comes with 2 models. One is a step by step guide, the other is an example. This is perfect for any schools with a 3D Printer!!
