Today we were asked to create a simple animation using a programme called 2simple2animate. I thouroughly enjoyed this task and found it really fun. We were asked to try and create an animation similar to the ones seen on the TV programme catchphrase. The software had a simple version and an advanced version. It was very easy to navigate and not over complicated to use. I started off doing a simple animation and then tried a more advanced one once I got the hang of it. This is a great programme for children to use in schools and can develop their ICT skills greatly.
I have posted my animation on a seperate blog below.

Evaluation of Website.
Our site we used : http://www.loch-ness.org/
My group and I decided to research information on the Loch-Ness Monster and to find a genuine site that told us information on our chosen subject. The site on initial appearance was jam packed full of information, had 'real/fake' arguments throughout, was easy to use and navigate, had a chat room (forum), contact information and link pages to tourist attractions and hotels. Negatives we thought on the site were that the writing was too small, that the layout was not very eyecatching, there was alot of advertisements and no search box.
The website was devoted to nessie information and to the understanding of the loch ness mystery full of facts gathered from past and present and many pictures also.
From using the http://www.easywhois.com/ website we discoved that the site was created on 4th Jan 1999,

Reflective learning articles
Reflective journals and logs can be very useful for communication. It is a very useful tool for expressing feelings and thoughts. By blogging on a regular basis, you can reflect upon activities and challeges. It is an effective way of communication as communication is used in every day life. Gibbs(1996) came up with six steps to help people recognise and help reflective practice, them being :
Descrption- what happened?
Descrption- what happened?
Feelings- What were you thinking?
Evaluation- What was good and bad about the experience?
analysis- what sence can you make out of the situation?
Conclusion- what else could you have done?
Action plan- what will you do next time?
If after a task we followed these 6 simple steps we can learn how to improve ourselves and learn certain things about ourselves also. By reflecting we enable ourselves to gain better knowledge and understanding on subjects and can only improve ourselves.
