School’s Out for Summer!

Filed under Christmas, web searching

It has been a great year and I just wanted to wish all subscribers and regular readers a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.


My husband and I are off on our honeymoon to Vietnam for five and a half weeks so there won’t be any updates on this blog until February next year.

By the way, I made the above picture in Kidpix by dropping in my photo, using the fill bucket to get rid of all of the background, and then putting stamps around the outside. A great activity to do with kids to make individualised Christmas cards!

I also have found a website called Google Guide which you might want to check out if you want to know how to improve your Google searches. It tells you everything about how to use all of the Google functions.

Even at the end of the year I can’t resist slipping in a few bits and pieces! Happy holidays all!

Christmas Links New Home

Filed under Christmas

This is just a quick note to say that I have moved the Christmas links I had on our cluster wiki to a dedicated Christmas wiki so that I could spread the links out over a number of pages. This should make finding things a lot quicker.

The new address is http://christmaslinks.pbwiki.com

FotoFlexor does Xmas

Filed under Christmas, Image Tools

Yes – I am continuing with my Xmas theme. I have been having fun turning myself into an elf and my husband into a drunk santa using the Greeting card option in FotoFlexor. Obviously this is not for kids given the wine bottle in Santa’s hands (and what hairy hands they are!) They have also added a number of new features since I last visited FotoFlexor such as photo morphing so it continues to be a brilliant online image editing tool.

Ok, this is not the best picture I have ever worked on but I did do it in two seconds flat thanks to the online photo editor Picnik. They have a large range of Xmas shapes that can be added to you picture which are easily resized and rotated to fit with the image you are working on. They can take images from a variety of online sources such as Flickr or you can upload directly into Picnik. Thanks Innes for being a model with me! Why not have a go? (and I will still be talking about Zoho Creator very soon).

Christmas Wiki Page

Filed under Christmas

I have been spending hours of my life recently trying to build the ultimate Christmas resource page. http://petoneclusterwiki.pbwiki.com/Christmas-Links

It is getting there. Everyone should find a number of useful bits and pieces. I’d like your help to add to the page. If you know of any great links, leave a comment on this post and I’ll add them. Hopefully this kind of resource can make teacher’s seasons jolly :-)

Particularly, have a go at the game Santa’s Snowline. I spent over two hours of my life getting through all the levels and I think it is a brilliant problem solving game.

Next post – Zoho Creator
