New
interactive
game -
Hoop
Shoot |
|
|
|
|
 I
have
held
back
from
releasing
the
latest
interactive
game
-
I
want
to
make
it
as
playable
as
possible
before
releasing
it.
It
will
be
launched
later
this
week. |

Saveable
version
of
interactive
diagrams |
|
|
| |
|
I'm
not
100%
confident
that
it
works
yet,
but
it
has
been
quite
extensively
tested.
As
a
trial,
a
Cold
War
diagram
has
been
uploaded
using
the
new
format. |
|
|
|
|
This
allows
users
to
work
on
a
diagram,
save
their
work
and
return
to
it
later.
They
must
work
on
the
same
computer,
but
it
is
hoped
this
makes
the
diagrams
more
useful. |
|
|
|
|
As
with
the
'create
your
own'
launched
yesterday,
data
is
saved
via
simple
text
file
cookies
and
deleted
when
a
diagram
is
printed. |

Create
your
own
interactive
diagrams |
|
|
| |
|
In
the
most
complex
piece
of
Flash
coding
I've
ever
attempted,
you
can
now
use
an
online
interface
to
create
your
own
interactive
diagrams.
What
took
hours,
now
takes
minutes. |
|
|
|
|
Work
can
be
saved
using
Flash
MX
'shared
Objects'
-
small
text
files
which
are
stored
on
your
computer. |
|
|
|
|
When
you
have
completed
your
diagram
the
data
is
automatically
sent
via
the
webpage
to
SchoolHistory.co.uk,
and
can
be
quickly
turned
into
new
diagrams. |
|
|
|
|
|
Redevelopment
of the
'interactive
diagrams' |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Whole
section
being
redeveloped
to
accommodate
an
update
to
the
diagrams
and
the
new
create
your
own.
I
plan
to
add
more
of
these
including
customised
versions
(developing
ideas
used
in
the
recent
Native
Americans
lesson) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
aim
is
to
create
sections
for
specific
topics
developing
the
existing
three
areas.
Anyone
willing
to
help
with
this
is
more
than
welcome.
Let
us
know. |

Updated
version
of
Elizabeth
I
conclusions
lesson |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Following
its
use
in
class,
and
observations
of
other
teachers
using
the
lesson,
I've
made
a
couple
of
changes. |
|
|
|
|
The
main
task
now
opens
in
a
separate
pop-up
window
without
'back'
buttons.
This
will
prevent
the
problem
of
students
clicking
'back'
on
their
browser
and
losing
all
their
work! |
|
|
|
|
When
reaching
the
conclusion,
students
now
have
to
place
the
scales
in
the
most
appropriate
position
-
this
gives
them
a
starter
for
their
conclusion. |

New

lesson -
Conclusions
on
Elizabeth
I |
| |
|
|
|
Brand
new
lesson
that
attempts
to
guide
students
through
their
own
assessment
of
Elizabeth
I's
reign. |
|
|
|
|
Either
through
their
previous
work,
or
using
the
hints
provided,
they
enter
their
opinions
relating
to
the
important
aspects
of
her
reign
leading
to
a
final
conclusion. |
|
|
|
|
The
finished
product
is
an
essay
evaluating
Elizabeth
I's
reign
than
can
then
be
developed
further
as
required. |

Interactive
wordsearches
redesigned |
| |
|
|
|
The
Interactive
java
based
wordsearches
have
been
improved
-
clearer
page
design
allows
students
easy
access.
These
activities
have
been
given
a
new
'lease
of
life'
in
the
light
of
the
KS3
strategy.
If
you
are
running
an
ICT-based
history
lesson,
using
one
of
these
wordsearches
is
an
ideal
starter
activity
-
getting
students
working
quickly,
encouraging
them
to
think,
before
moving
onto
your
main
activity. |
|
|
|
In
addition
they
are
ideal
to
grab
students'
focus
immediately,
especially
while
you
are
sorting
out
network
and
log-on
issues
for
other
students. |
|
|
|
Suggested
links
to
follow
on
from
the
wordsearches
have
also
been
updated
and
improved.
Built
in
differentiation! |

New
version
of the
Penalty
Shootout
game |
| |
|
|
|
New,
updated
version
of
the
popular
Penalty
Shootout
game.
Improved
graphics
and
perspective,
slicker
gameplay
and
much
faster
downloads
(three
times
as
quick). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Better
coding
means
a
much
smaller
download,
with
improved
performance.
One
and
two
player
versions
with
a
choice
of
twelve
different
goalkeepers.
There's
even
a
hidden
cheat
feature! |
|
|
|
|
All
older
games
have
been
updated
and
you
can
now
easily
create
your
own
(see
below). |
|
|
|
|
You
can
now 'create
your
own'
penalty
shootout! |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With
this
development,
you
are
now
able
to
create
your
own
version
of
all
our
popular
games
-
follow
the
links
on
the

Last
week
there
were
35,049

downloads
and
2,808
PowerPoint
downloads. |
|
|
|
|
The
time
and
effort
put
in
by
the
teachers
who
submit
their
resources,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
they
make
no
attempt
to
exert
copyright
over
their
resources
is
a
great
example
of
the
collaborative
ethos
that
is
at
the
core
of
successful
education.
As
well
as
this,
the
time
and
resources
spent
by
SchoolHistory.co.uk
in
managing
the
site
cost
its
users
nothing. |
|
|
|
The
only
'payment'
we
ask
is
that
you
send
in
any
resources
you
have
created
to
add
to
the
site
so
others
can
also
benefit.
Think
about
submitting
your
resources. |

I

the

was
popular,
but
I
was
surprised
-
since
September
1st
there
have
been
about
2,500
resource
downloads
a
day!
I'm
currently
updating
the
KS4
download
tracking. |
|
|
|
Dynamic
information
added
to
the
left
hand
side
bar.
Using
the

information
you
are
now
told
how
many
people
are

|
|
|
'Coming

article

for
the
TES
Teacher

the
website
my
Year

for
Elizabeth
I
is
now
online.
The
'background'
section
may
be
of
interest. |
|
|
|
The
site
isn't
completely
finished
as
the
timeline
needs
to
be

-
they
will

this
in

sincere
thanks
to
all
those
who
contributed.
I
have
been
sent
in
lots
more
resources,
but
many
have
infringed
(mostly
unintentionally)
on
copyright
so
great
care
has
been
taken.
New

is
being
prepared. |

The

A
great
deal
of
work
has
gone
on
'behind
the
scenes'
in
the
last
month.
The
site
is
now
far
more
dynamic
and
can
be
updated
quickly
and
easily.
As
the
site
has
grown,
it
became
far
more
difficult
to
administer.
Pages
can
now
be
updated
from
any
web
server
when
required. |
|
|
|
Download
tracking
started
-
visual
record
of
how
many
resources
are
downloaded
-
KS3
is
fully
complete.
Underneath
each
resource
a
counter
tracks
how
many
people
download
it. |
|
|
|
Further
quiz
and
game
creation
aids
are
soon
to
be
launched.
Users
will
be
able
to
create
their
own
drag

exercises,
Historical
Duckshoot
games
and
Penalty
Shootout
games. |

Following
feedback
from
the
SchoolHistory
survey
undertaken
over
the
summer,
I
have
tried
to
make
navigation
through
the
site
easier.
Slight
redesign
of
the
home
page
and
yeargroups
pages
is
the
result.
If
I
get
feedback
on
issues,
I
can
fix
them,
so
please
report
anything
you
feel
should
be
improved! |
