Cian shared his presentation of The Three Bears…. Sort of! This presentation was made for the Year 5/6 students who are preparing for the quiz in September. The application that he used is called Videoscribe - this is a great presentation tool - however it is not a free application - so please check with your parents before you download it.



We introduced Narrable - this is another presentation tool - this one is free and easy to use.

Here is an example of a presentation using Narrable. This was downloaded from the internet.




You can consider using Narrable when you next need to do a presentation.


Andrew shared a great presentation on how to use the application overdrive to search books in the Christchurch Public Library. You can place books on hold and also take out ebooks and read them on an iPad or ebook reader.

Overdrive is a free application - thanks Andrew! You made it look easy! Remember everyone that you need one of the new blue library cards to access the library in this way.
