I'd say this would be better suited to a class slightly older, perhaps year 2 or 3. I think if you are designing a site for Year 1 you need a lot of oral instructions as many will be unable to read the written instructions. Many students in the last SP seemed to make a site for year one's; I'm not sure why as I think this would be one of the hardest to create for considering their limited literacy.
This is a great website! will definitely help in the first assignment. Would also like to add that the Gruffalo is the "in book" in my house at the moment!
I just stumbled upon this and thought I'd share, theres a tonne of information and links on this site not only useful for this unit but I posted this link as it contains technology specific articles.
Yes, Mollie, this is great. we used to find this magazine on staff room tables and there were always some great articles. The one on interactive whiteboards is a good read.
