Igniting Writing
Can Studios developed the BETT award nominated Igniting Writing series for Nelson Thornes. Igniting Writing is specifically designed to engage pupils and fire their imaginations in preparation for writing. Can Studios developed two inspirational multi-media CDROMs for use by the teacher on an interactive whiteboard to accompany the four pupil books in this blended series. They each include a variety of media such as video, photos, sound effects, voice-overs and animations to captivate the whole class and suit all learning styles. Differentiated texts and activities are provided for each sequence, allowing teachers to use this resource at two levels - upper and lower KS2. The sequences provide step-by-step support for pupils' own writing with modelled texts, analysis of key features and interactive writing skeletons for planning.
Key Features:
- Multiple Disks run via the same delivery platform
- The content was developed and managed in an online content management system (CMS)
- Within each sequence of media there are activities authored in flash based tools in the CMS
- Each resource is tagged with meta-data
- Each disk has a 'no install' database driven resource bank
- Users can import their own materials
- Users can create their own activities
- Each teacher has their own account on the software
