WIN A PHILIPS MP4 PLAYER LOADED WITH ALL THE LATEST PODCASTS.

Keeping with the spirit of things, i am launching a competition to win yet another Philips 2gb MP4 player loaded with loads of goodies.  This time, the competition is a little more difficult and will really test your graphics skills!  Here is the brief…

You have to design a Christmas Card front cover for Mr & Mrs B’s Christmas Cards this year.

We usually include a photo of ourselves on our Christmas Cards to our families and close friends, this year, i want my pupils to design the graphic for the front of the card.  The card should obviously have a Christmas theme and to help you design it you can ‘right click’ on the two avatars above and save them to help you include Mr & Mrs B in the card.

The competition will run from 1st October to 4th December 2009.  Entries can be submitted by hand or email etc and MUST include your name and class so that we know who to give the prize to.  All entries should be A5 in size, that’s HALF of an A4 sheet of paper.

Good luck to all who enter!

Only 2 weeks to go and the entries are starting to come in! Remember, spend some time making the card for us and you could win the MP4 Player.

Well worth 15 minutes of your time.

I have updated and increased the number of study/folio notes available for Product Design/Craft&Design pupils in the Craft & Design page HERE.

Thank you please.

It has taken me a little while to figure out what happened to the link i provided on the PODCAST AREA page of the Blog. This link is now working again and all the Podcasts are now available for download but you do need to CHANGE THE LINK provided.  The instructions are the same as before.

For those who like the YOUTUBE experience then the Podcasts are also available over there too.

I hope this sets you up for the upcoming Prelim exams guys – keep on learning!!!

Simple: By the 27th November you should have redrafted the tasks/pages set in C+DNOV2009.  You know what happens if you do not return!!!  Be warned.

For those who don’t know, I have started a team in JP called The JP Mo Bro’s. Why? Well…

October is the month when we raise funds for women’s health issues. We never really do much for men’s health directly. Movember is our chance to do something to raise awareness of men’s health issues like Prostate and Testicular cancer and mental health issues. I joined the charity Movember and now Me, Mr McGorry, Craig and John from S6 are all growing a moustache to raise money for the charity.

It’s a great cause and I reckon as a team we are near £500 already so, dig deep, pledge what change you have in your pockets to us and perhaps we can change the face of men’s health!

You can’t deny that TmT has a worldwide audience, with the 1500+ blog hits, the Clustr Map results below and over 600 views on the YouTube channel. Thanks for all your support, and keep on watching.

Hi guys, a busy last week before the October break ahead, to lighten the mood, i have provided you a link to Do-Be’s new blog.  The guys over at Do-Be have posted JP on their site as we are the FIRST school in Glasgow to launch the Do-Be Teach it learning pack.  Click the pic for a better read – enjoy.

This is a task for ALL my pupils.  When you get the chance, please go HERE and complete my IT survey.  No personal details will be stored or even asked for.  I’m doing this so i can get an idea of the IT and computing equipment pupils in JP have access to.

Thank you for your help Guys and Girls!

Hi guys, i hope you had a relaxing September Weekend (apart from the homework!!!).  I have been working hard on the latest Podcast (Number 21) and redesigning things on here for my second Blog competition.

The new Podcast is all about Plastic Manufacturing Processes, its a cracker at 10 minutes long, but it covers processes like vacuum forming, blow moulding, extrusion and rotational moulding.  Get it from YOUTUBE, iTunes or from me in school for your MP4 Player

The competition prize is once again a sparkly, podcast loaded MP4 player provided by me!  Check HERE for more information.
