Technology+Tips

= A chance for you techno-wizards to help us techno-wallies learn something! = Know of a neat short-cut? Found something new and exciting on the web? Know of a cool ICT learning site? Share it with the class. =Tips= __Hyperlinking__ - Highlight a word or phrase that you wish to turn into a hyperlink, then press Ctrl + K (for PC users). This will let you enter the URL of the site or place you want to link to. Ctrl + V will paste the last thing (text, URL, etc) you copied (Ctrl + C) onto your pasteboard.

=Tools= Rather than handing in your next project in an excercise book, why not consider using Glogster? It has lots of functions, such as being able to upload images and videos and add hyperlinks, as well as text of course, but probably the most fun is the hundreds of different ways to personalise your project. But don't forget: focus on the content, not just the presentation (although that's important too).

As you're under 13 years old, you will need your teacher to set up Glogster for you. As ever, make sure you don't record your personal details online. Check with your other teachers to ensure they are happy to receive your project in Glogster format.

Glog away!
