Back in the Trenches!


This week World War One History was taught to pupils of Small Heath Secondary School in a new and exciting way. The year nine pupils enjoyed animating pictures of soldiers, women and even rats using Crazy talk software. This gave the children a new perspective of how lives were effected by the misery of war. The children all produced work that was very well thought out.

Also, Parkview CLC started a project called 'English ICT Champions', in which four English teachers from various network schools were given the opportunity to learn new ways of teaching their subject using ICT. The project includes training in different techniques and how to apply them using equipment which is also provided by the CLC. The kit includes among other items a Ferrari laptop and digital camera. We will keep you updated on the progress of this project in following weeks.
