Questionaut from BBC Bitesize

Thanks to John Suttion at Creative ICT for this new addition to the BBC Bitesize revision material, which looks to me suspiciously like an excellent link up between the BBC and those people from Samorost!, as the BBC describe it :
"Journey through strange worlds and test your knowledge of English, Maths and Science on this magical mission to recover your friend’s hat."

Thanks to John Sutton of creative ict for the invitation to try out the CoverItLive live blogging trial on Thursday evening.

Take a look at a great little web 2.0 tool at zoho. It is provides you with online Microsoft Office compatible tools - w/p, spreadsheet, presentation. This would allow pupils working in school using for example Powerpoint, to upload their powerpoint file to Zoho where it is held online. They can then access this from any pc ( or collaborate with others if they give them the password) without the need to have an expensive version of MS Office, as it is all done online. They can finish off work, correct work, then re-save it to access back in school.
The scope is also for teachers to use this perhaps for reporting/planning as you can access your saved work from anywhere ( perhaps not the beach or by the pool though!!)
This nifty piece of online wizardry was first brought to my attention by John Sutton @ Creative ICT recently - thanks John.

**Interesting Web 2.0 Tool**
Check out zoho a tool which enables your pupils to save Microsoft Offices documents ( Word,Excel,Powerpoint not sure about Publisher) online - work on them at home - online (no need to have MS Office on home PC) re-save and complete or print when back in school!!!! There is also the possibility of pupils collaborating on work by amending each others projects... a useful tool from John Sutton of Creative ICT... give it a try
