Year 8 Presentations

An example of a camping podWe’re off to The Lakes this weekend, so tonight I was pushing Boba to get asa much homework done as he could so that we wouldn’t have a big arguement about him being too tired when we got back from the pod.

One of his pieces of homework was to prepare a presentation on somebody who inspires him.  He chose Neil Armstrong and even though he was inspired and researched it well his presentation style was pretty uninspiring.

I had remembered bookmarking Prezi on delicious a little while ago, so I decided to have a play.  This is what I came up with after about an hour of pfaffing….

Well he liked it so much, he made me send it to his school email address. Lets hope he doesn’t pass it off as his own work.

Holiday Photos on Flickr

Goose-stepping CockerelA few weeks ago, prior to going on holiday, our digital camera went missing.  Now, when I cajoled Mrs Z into going digital and ditching the old 35mm, she had assurances that we could still have hard copies and that I would be able to keep the images safe.  Well I had planned to move the photos onto flickr and back them up somewhere, but I just didn’t get round to it did I.

Luckily, a couple of weks ago I went to IWMW10 and as a consequence I had to “renovate” my laptop bag and lo and behold, the camera turns up.  So for most of this week, I’ve not only been moving the images off the camera’s current SD card, I’ve moved them off an older card and off my son’s camera and SD cards.

I now have 2 more sets on flickr and can clear down the SD cards in readiness for the forthcoming jolly to Menorca.

I’ve only put the holiday ones on flickr.  I still need to sort the others out and move the videos.  Anybody got a preference: YouTube/Vimeo/Other.
