Homecoming week on PhotoPeach

Since the demise of Bubbleshare, I have been looking for another free way of showing slideshows on blogs. PhotoPeach lets you upload photos and music and also gives you a certain amount of free music to play with your slideshows. For a small monthly payment you can uypgrade to their premium account which gives more upload space and a bigger variety of music to choose from.

Here are some photos from our Homecoming week celebrations.

I think you should know about this digital literature resource. It's targeted at KS3 but could be useful for Gifted and Talented at KS2:

Free digital literature resource for KS3 English

The HOTBOOK is a set of 40 digitised literary texts for use in KS3 English. It comes with a teachers’ guide and classroom activities, designed by English teachers.

In the Hotbook, poems and extracts from plays, novels, non-fiction texts and broadcasts are presented as short films, Flash animations, podcasts and HTML web pages. They include Macbeth's "Tomorrow, and tomorrow" speech as stop frame animation, Christina Rossetti's poem "Spring" performed by cartoon rabbits, a rap version of Chaucer's Prologue, an animated version of Benjamin Zephaniah's "Talking Turkeys" and a story of computer gamers by cult sci-fi author Cory Doctorow.

The HOTBOOK was created by if:book, the think and do tank.
