Hints
 * Stephen PODCASTING ( Oral language / Reading)**
 * use a headset with microphone attached. This keeps the volume consistent when the children are wriggling around
 * Give children practice recording and listening to themselves first. They will then be more focused with their task and not a s much self conscious about hearing themselves

Hints
 * Once children have basic understanding of the programme incorporate computer time into the Maths and Reading tumble
 * Children draw their pictures independently then MINIMISE so the teacher can save them when she is ready

 * Word (Writing)**
 * Children have turns to record their stories using WORD - directly on to the computer
 * Teacher has noted that some child are writing more on the computer than when asked to write in their books
 * Stories are printed out and put in their Publishing folder
 * Good idea to have word banks / alphabet cards etc in the area of the computer so children can still refer to them
