Once you have done this, click 'Create' and choose the blank template and start your advert for your app.

Work for Monday 13th October

You are going to create adverts for the app that you have designed. Today you are going to create a poster for your app that will appear in a magazine or newspaper. Remember to include all of the features and pictures of your app. Look back at your previous PowerPoint to get more ideas. You can use Word, PowerPoint or Publisher to create your poster.

When you have finished, you are going to start planning an advert to appear on the TV. On Thursday, you will be using a website called PowToon to start making it. Before then, watch the video that I made for PE which is a bit like an advert. You can use headphones if you have them. This will give you an idea of what you could include in yours. You should start to 'story-board' your advert by using a plain piece of paper and sketching scenes for your advert to include in the PowToon.
 

Secondly, you can have a look at a tutorial on how to use PowToon to prepare you for Thursday's lesson. Take a look here

Work for Thursday 9th October

Introducing Prezi

Your task is to make an account on www.prezi.com and then design a presentation giving advice to new year 7s for next year. To make the account, you will need to use your school email account. Once you've logged in, you should watch the introduction videos and tips for making a prezi.

Finally, you should call your Prezi '5 Tips for New Year 7s' and should include advice, pictures and videos if appropriate.
