Merging pictures in to business cards using DTP

In this video you can show students how to make a set of business cards that mail merge in both images and text. Using spreadsheets and publisher they end up with a set of individual business cards for a group of individuals at their organisation. This is a logical progression step if you have used the Mafia Zoo (gangsta zoo on teach-ict) scenario.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-kids-lite/id957195511?mt=8 'Scratch Kids Lite' brings you 3 sets of video tutorials to get you going making your very first activity and game in the new version of Scratch 2. However, these are not the sort of standard tutorials that you find on the web. During the videos you will be set tasks to do in scratch and hopefully you will be able to complete them on your own. However don't worry the next video in each project will show you how to complete the task!! These videos are really targeted at KS2 students although the content of the full app will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. There's even a quiz in the app so you can test your scratch knowledge too!!

Some basic graphics work to get kids to make fabulous artwork to adorn your classroom walls with. All using the free browser based graphics editor called Pixlr so everyone can access this lesson. Jolly good fun that will keep the kids busy for a couple of hours at least. First video is aimed at kids from a school in China, where I am teaching, and they would not have known the British people in the picture, doesn’t make any difference to the skills being taught though.

However don't worry the next video in each project will show you how to complete the task!! These videos are really targeted at primary students although the content will go on to stretch and challenge even the most able of them with variables, cloning, broadcasting and many other features of Scratch. This is a big app of just under 300Mb, because there is so much material in it. You will need to be hooked into your WiFi connection!! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kid.scratch

This is a 2 video sample of the 31 video paid for version that you can find. I didn't pick the best 2 and the rest are worse, that would involve wading through them all and I haven't got time for that. It's just a random sample. Please don't put these videos into the public domain, on a VLE or shared area at school is fine though. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cambridge-nationals-r001-complete-video-tutorial-set-for-all-theory-11363773

Quite simply there is nothing out there better than this set of tutorials to get your students’ heads around scratch. Most teachers will use YouTube videos or paid for resources and frankly the kids learn very little by just repeating what they see on the video or printed in front of them. Why is this app different? Because each video sets a task for the student to do and eventually it builds into a playable game. If your students struggle with a with a task then there is also a solution video and there is always a final video to identify extension tasks to stretch and challenge the most able. I promise you that you will change what you currently use and have your students use these videos on your tablets at school. Best of all the apps are completely free. Apple/iOS - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/scratch-tutorials/id1546971406 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.popseven.scratchtutorials We have dropped a couple of files as examples of how the videos, in the app itself there are around 70 video files though!

Series of videos to show kids how to make an insert for a video game case. The example uses a well known series of football games and will keep your students busy for many hours and they will learn some really good graphics skills along the way. It’s a really good project that your students will enjoy. I made the videos a few years ago now but it all still works today.
