I spent a couple of hours this morning with my colleague Jim Gilmour. He's the ICT consultant for Trafford. He's been helping me work on Fronter, which is Trafford's Virtual Learning Platform.
One of the features that I thought was most interesting was the facility to create forums that allowed pupils to participate in role, speaking from different points of view. So, for example, if we were exploring 'Lord of the Flies' and considering Ralph's effectiveness a a leader, pupils could voice their opinions as if they were different characters in the novel.
He also showed me a flip camera. I'd read about them but hadn't seen one yet. Very desirable.
