My Christmas Lessons 2012

As an early Christmas present to my readers, I've decided to share my Christmas-themed ICT lessons with you so that you have chance to do them with your children before you break up!

• Use: the Pages app, this template and these pictures to create a document re-telling the Nativity story, as shown in these examples here.

• Use the Drawing Pad app to paint a Christmas picture (e.g. of a Christmas tree or snowman) - see this link here.

• Use 2DIY and these pictures to create a multiple-choice quiz about Christmas celebrations in different countries, like these.

• Use 2DIY and these images to create a Christmas-themed collecting game, like these.

• Use Keynote (open via this link) to create a Christmas shape by combining different shapes together (see here for the work produced).

• Use Keynote (open via this link) and Picasion to create an animated GIF image of a Christmas tree with flashing lights.

• Use PowerPoint to create an animated re-telling of the Nativity story, like these using this clip art by Bev Evans.

Thank you for these suggestions Simon - unfortunately i will need to wait until the wi-fi is installed to make good use of the iPad ideas! Is the chain link icon in the first activity a link to your VLE? The picasion website is great but my iPad at home (e.g. with wi-fi) won't display the browse buttons to upload the images? Any ideas?

Finding your blog has been so useful, as I started in an ICT specialist role this September, Thank you for sharing such a wealth of good ideas.
