Inspiration, Power Point, Paint, MyClasses, Internet Research
 * __The ICT applications we used include:__

We chose to use Inspirtation because it is a useful brainstorming tool that students can interactively use to collaborate their ideas with their partner. Power Point is a professional tool that allows the students to present their information in a visual and interesting manner. Paint was an effective/easy tool that students used to create and plan drafts of their slides thats they can then refer back to when creating their final Power Point Presentation. MyClasses allows all students in the class to access useful information that is all contained in one spot and simple for students of all abilities to access. Students are famililar with Internet Based research which made this a simple and effective tool in accessing information. **

Our ICT project encourages students to work collaboratively in their partnerships. It allows them to share ideas and constructively give feedback to one another, as they develop their assignment together. Our use of MyClasses also allows the students to reseach their topic in a way that they have responsibility for their own research, however the teach is still able to monitor the type of websites they are accessing. The final student project is the creation of the whole class Power Point, this allows students to collaborate their work on a larger scale. The Wiki allows the whole class to have access to information regarding the assignment and is process orientated. Allowing the students to work at their own pace and manage their own time to a certain extent. Students present their final class product to the whole school at their organised class assembly.**
