hmm what can a say about flowol l I suppose it is good for developing children's awareness of sequences and if the labels of the buttons were changed to directions could be good at exploring properties of instructions i.e. first open the gate next turn on the lights etc. I personally did not find this task that exciting but im sure if adapted it could be effective in the primary classroom.
I really enjoyed creating the interactive map last session we got into it a little too much and create a detective story which you can try out on the link below. I can really see the benefit of this for children and in fact have included it as a Central activity in my groups medium term plan. I love the idea of children using hyperlinks to create a really professional looking document which they can use to link together all of their ideas. it is an excellent concluding activity which can include all of the other ICT activities in the unit of work.

I dont know if this link will work but if it does can you find out who did it?

I found the lecture yesterday quite frightening the very idea that it is possible to track your exact location and your movements is quite intimidating, it stirs thoughts of conspiracy theories lol. anyway as far as its application goes I love the idea of being able to put photos and information on a map and think it would be a great activity in geography but also in science observations looking at habitates etc. anyway we will see if I am actually able to do it in the seminar.
