I guess I have an easy audience

Filed Under Musings 

I started my new Grade 9 course yesterday, Applying Information and Communication Technology 2 15F. (Nice snappy name, eh? Blame the Government of Manitoba for that one.) I’m supposed to show the students some of the cool things they can do with technology. One of the things I’ve got planned is stop motion animation (which is remarkably simple to do with a free program and a cheap web cam).

All I managed to do is set the kids up with e-mail (courtesy of Google Apps) and blogs (courtesy of 21 Classes). Yet after 70 minutes of class it was time to leave, and quite a number couldn’t believe that class was over. It seemed like no time at all. I suppose when you’re playing around with Internet goodies even school can seem fun to some people.
