The de Ferrers Academy – Frog Blog

To celebrate the impending start of the World Cup, we’re adding our World Cup 2010 pages to Frog.

Staff & Students can try the World Cup quiz & top the leaderboard, view facts and stats about the World Cup finalist countries and the South African stadiums in our interactive Google Maps mashup, vote for who’ll win and post their views on the matches…all that plus a countdown clock!

Next week we also launch the redesigned student front pages, with better access to new hotlinks and the message feed from staff. Well done to the Student Council & Dove Voice for their views and ideas!

Here’s the official results of our Frog VLE Election 2010 votes and student voice…a brilliant resource.  Popular with a lot of students and well used in CPSHE lessons by Y11.

Thanks again to Paul Evason from Haybridge High School & 6th Form for coming up with the template and sharing it.

Will the real election results look anything like this???

We are about to unveil our new Learning Blog widget, allowing students and staff  to share thoughts as part of self & peer assessment, learning diaries, book reviews, etc. We hope to upload this very soon to the Exchange area of the Frog Community for other schools, as well as a few other goodies…

Next job…our interactive World Cup 2010 VLE pages…the thinking hats are going on now!

Following on from the success of our Young Designer KS3 voting website, we have now opened it up to Young Designers at KS4.

Four pieces of work are on display from the Young Designers who have each been assigned an anonymous number to make the voting fair. Every student at de Ferrers is invited to decide who deserves to be the Young Designer, so get voting.

You can access the voting centre by going into the VLE and clicking the Young Designer button under the “Subjects” section.
