A wide range of Primary classroom activities, reviews and resources has been developed and published over the years originally by MAPE and, more recently since the merger in 2004, by Naace.

Paul Williamson has spent a great deal of time empowering teachers in different subjects to use their Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) effectively. The successes have become increasingly apparent with every area of the school moving forward rapidly.

Naace have been successful in securing a TDA bid won by Steven Coombes based at Bath Spa University and being delivered as a 'Visual Learning Course' by Christina Preston and John Cuthell at MirandaNet (based at The Institute of Education, London).

An interpretation of QCA Art Unit 2A 'Picture This'

This follows on nicely from work done in QCA Art Unit 1A 'Self -portrait'

The following 'step-through' example uses Textease Studio CT but could be appropriately done with any other paint package.

Imagine a world where schoolchildren are contacting pupils in schools around the world through a totally safe, virtual environment, chatting about differences, sharing pictures, and posting opinions about stories they've read and written. Their teachers are making sure skills in literacy, numeracy, ICT and communication are being improved. The children are sharing ideas about how to live more healthy lifestyles. This Article illustrates how some of this is possible through the 101+ Club Project, supported by by the Oracle Education Foundation.

Kar2ouche is a commercially produced program that allows students to create imaginative animations with a full range of templates. Students can to add backgrounds, characters, voices and objects to support their multimedia projects.

Julie Steer's Article is inspired by early memories of her grandmother reading Charles Dickens's classic novel, Oliver Twist during a four-day visit. Julie reviews how a suite of software, 'The Literacy Collection' replicates some of her grandmother's techniques of story-telling: summarise, substitute, explain, visualise and performance.

The target for the project was the setting up 200 children with their own interactive web-sites in 4 weeks! The idea was to set up safe on-line web accounts using www.think.com with primary children and their teachers and to help them appreciate the potential that Web 2.0 technologies have to enhance teaching and learning.

The project ran for 4 weeks and was a joint venture sponsored by The Oracle Education Foundation and MirandaNet abased at the Institute of Education in London. The project sponsored several other schools and culminated in a meeting to share work and achievements on July 10th 2008 at the MirandaNet's 'WLE centre'(World e-Citizens) based at the Institute of Education in London.
