The following are designed to provide some starters for the planning process, access and entry organisation, some 'how to' notes and some extension ideas. If you have any to add please let me know. Following is a copy of the initial letter sent to schools.

These have been broken down into single focus helps sheets.

Using Microsoft Word or Powerpoint to develop a hyperlinked story. You might like to develop your fairy tale further using these techniques.

As you can imagine there are likely to be around 200 images on our FFT wikispace. Because of this we need to be very careful with the size of them. I would like to ensure that images are kept around the 100 Kb range (most digital photos taken on camreas are 10 times that!) To make sure that our image files are kept small you will have to use a resizing application. On the Mac a simple one is Rapid Resizer, a piece of freeware available from me - there certainly are others all the way up to Photoshop. One the PC there is an XP plug in http://www.steve.maurer.net/tutorials/XP_tutorials/xp_resize_pics.htm or you might try http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm I suggest you have you children develop their images - free draw or a digital photo of their art work, size them appropriately and tehn put them all in a shared folder so the 'uploaders' can find them. The names of them can be entered on the plan (yu do have one don't you?)

I popped into Ballance today and found this web on the board so asked Vicki of I could share it. I should have grabbed Caragh and Sally's yesterday. Happy for people to send things in either as photo attachments or files. This file is 32 Kb.
