Yacapaca (Yakka-Pakka)

Welcome back, hope you all enjoyed your break. This week we will finally be rolling out Yacapaca to you all as Mr Henley has fixed all the Gremlins.

Yacapaca is an online quiz that you all get another login for (don’t forget it). Once your logged in and you’ve clicked on a quiz you can set yourself a target. This is YOUR target not mine and I never even get to see it so put down what you think and compare it to your final score. I shall show everyone’s scores on the leaderboard at the end so you can get a rough idea of how you’re doing.

Don’t stress over your results as they are only one (of many) way of assessing your ICT knowledge, and if online testy things aren’t your cup of tea your skills will show in the other bits of work I get off of you.

When you complete the quiz have a second go to try and boost your scores. You will then have the opportunity to click ‘Me’ and you can pick a fun Avatar.

Half-Termtastic!

 

Have a great half-term everybody, I’m going to be playing with Lego MindStorm stuff, and next term I’m gonna try and set up Warhammer club and see what I  can do about a Chess club.

I will also mostly be playing a couple of games called Second Life (recommended by Ben) and Company of Heroes  an excellent WW2 RTS game. Of course I will also be getting loads of work ready for you lot and marking all of last terms stuff (check out the Myclasses pages on HadNet for your marks).

Also if you have ANY suggestions for school there is an excellent forum topic on HadNet started by the School Council, stop by and have your say! Take care and don’t work too hard.

Year 8: Public Info System Hand-In

Here a Public Information Film from the dark ages of British currency.

1. Print Screen your Public Information System
2. Paste the image into a Word document and Crop it.
3. Add the Title Public Information System
4. Add a Sub-Heading Introduction and say how you made your information system.
5. Add a Sub-Heading Testing and say if it works automatically, or if you need to click the screen.
6. Add a Sub-Heading Evaluation and write about 3 things that are good about your system and say why, 3 things you would improve about you system and say why.
