Hello

Hi all, I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their fab PowerPoint presentations last week.  My god wasn't it scary standing up in front of everyone!

Not long left before we finish our 2nd year.

Well Done keep up the hard work folks, it will all be worth it in the end. xxxx

Are you there????

Hello anyone out there??????

Yipeeeeeee

I can't believe that I have actually handed it my ICT aggignment , this module really felt like it was never going to end.  We started it in November and handed it in last week (March) thats 4 months to complete 1 assignmnet, we usually have 4 modules to complete in a year so that means we have 4 to complete before the end of July. We are all going to be pulling our hair out, thats without the usually household,  work,  and family stuff to do.
Its lovely here at the moment so I think I'm going to go outside and read some books to start researching for our Numeracy module.

Ok bye for now I well be honest and say I probably won't be blogging as aften as I have but I will update it when new things have happened.

Nearly finished

I cant believe it I have nearly finished my assignment! YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE

I just need to proof read and probable change and add some more stuff, I cant believe how many books i have read (scimmed) over the last couple of days. At least now I can start to relax  for a couple of days anyway.  when I say relax I mean not have an assignme to complete, now is the time to catch up on my washing, ironing, cleaning, gardening and shopping. Well after completing this assignment it will be nice to relax!

I think I have worked hard enough now so once I have proof read this I will be having a nice

Drinkie.

So tired

I've had a really strange week, haven't been feeling too great,  feeling so tired, stressed and over-worked. 

I have fallen asleep early in the evenings with my laptop on my lap (ready to complete my assignment), and NO work done.

I have so much to do but there doesn't seem enough hours

 in a day to finish them. 

       I have to go out soon, so will have to call back later.

 

Assignment

Well first of all I hope everyone is having an amazing half term and have finished your ICT assignments.  Have I ?  have I hell, well I suppose that is a little fib, I have done quite a bit of Internet research (however not all assignment related)  I have scanned/read the library's E-books  and E-journals.  I initially set myself a target of getting all my handwritten notes, references and lesson plan written up.  Did I get it done? did I hell.
I forgot my husband was nights this week so keeping 1 teenager,  an 11yr old hormonal daughter and a 4month old staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy quiet. I think the pup has been in training for the next Olympics shes been spinning, high jumping and hurdling over all my furniture.  All of a sudden shes found her bark as well .
So keeping them quiet as well as the usual household cleaning stuff and baking (its a half term must have) pasties, chocolate cakes and scones, they were very yummy I must admit, only problem was as soon as they were coming out of the oven someone was eating them (Rhea the pasties Kyle the chocolate cakes the dog ate all the crumbs).

Anyway lets get back on task!!!!!

I have today started to write some notes, and references and have typed up my lesson plan so it looks alot better that my scrawly writing!

Right lets go and make another effort.

have a great weekend and see you all soon. XX

Making Memories

My husbands Nana passed away on New Years Eve, she was 95 years old.
She deterioated quickly over the Christmas period and passed away peacefully.

I decided to get some of our favoutite photos together and combine them into a memory DVD .  I initially used Movie Maker as I wanted to burn the finished movie onto DVD, so my Mother in law is able to play it on het DVD player.  I also made one using Photostory to see how the programmes were similar.  They both do roughly the same job allowing you to use different effects,and transition and also allows you to add music.  Movie Maker was great because I was able to burn the DVD, however for some reason I have been unable to upload onto here.  On the other hand, with Photostory your unable to burn to disk but it did allow me to upload.  

I really enjoyed using both programmes and will use them again in the future.
