    Hi all,
    Congrats on the results, its great to be finished and near the summer holidays.
    I am just wondering what course people will be doing over the summer, I am doing a 2 day course in Scratch at the moment (which is FANTASTIC!) I know that the ICS will have another one in UL at the start of July, I saw it on www.scratch.ie (which has manuals and lesson plans free to download!!!)
    I am also doing an on-line writing course, its called writing for TV, visual writing. It was the price that made up my mind!!! (€120.00 how bad?!)


    So far its great!! I even have gotten great ideas for Drama and English from it.....but was wondering if anyone else had done it?Here is the link http://www.inkwellwriters.ie/Writing-TV-Treatments.html

    How did ye find it?
    Or has any one here done a writing course?


    Please do let me know what ye are up to over the holidays - learning wise.
    Thanks!

    We use Scratch with our exceptionally able groups, it's also widely used in CTYI. Are you looking for course recommendations?

    It's not too difficult, we have been using it to programme things in a second-life type place. Even I managed it!!There's a manual you can print out on the site.

    Like_it I have removed the link to your blog from your post. When you have enough posts for a signature (25) you may put a discreet link to it there. It's worth pointing out though that it's not a good idea to put up any information on a public website that identifies you.

    Hi all,

    Yeah Scratch is sooo cool, it is easy to use (once you have had time to get use to it)

    Youtube is great for tuts and of course the scratch.ie site.

    Hi,


    Thank you for the advice, appriciated.

    Thats grand, I dont mind about being public, I am on twitter, facebook fan page and lots and lots of other sites. I am a teacher but never talk about specific pupils I just talk about teaching ideas, how the kids liked them, writing, random stuff.


    I am picky about what I say...so by being this way I can have a high on-line profile no prob's.
