<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Thanks John and Bob for the ideas – the John’s Moodle book has given lots of ideas already just flicking through the contents.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">I can see some “Xerte Spot the Difference” activities with the Morph Image template and some external links to jigsaws using the NewPage navigator template.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Talking of templates I could probably do a nice “climate cross section” using the tabbed navigator to work down the latitudes. I’ll try the new Hangman template
and I have a great audio clip from my friend (who set up the charity) describing his encounter with an angry hippo as a child when he was head butted into the river. That will go really well with the audio slideshow template. I could do another style of spot
the difference with the annotated diagram template. If I’ve got time I’ll do a Camstudio screencapture describing the Savanna and then turn it into a synched video followed by a multichoice quiz.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Would be nice if Xerte had an “add page timer” option that could give you a countdown for doing a task under time pressure. I might copy the technical list
into this email in case anyone there is working on a similar idea.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Being primary age kids I’ll probably not risk the Flickr and YouTube templates since the results involve a degree of unpredictability!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">Like John I’d also recommend having a look at some on line jigsaw websites such as
<a href="http://www.jigsawplanet.com">www.jigsawplanet.com</a> . The puzzles are made within seconds and I’m sure you could use some photos or images of scenes relevant to overseas development as the basis of some activities.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">I’m doing some volunteering for a small charity creating resources for primary school children to help them understand development in general and the activities of the charity in particular. We’re using Xerte to create resources
for use in the primary classroom. Whilst I have lots of experience with Xerte and lots of experience in teaching development to post 16 audiences I have little experience of primary classrooms so if anyone has any hints and tips about the kind of approaches
to take, the kinds of resources I might be integrating with etc I’d be very grateful.
