Screen Shots R Us

There is a cool little programme I am using called 'Snippy' (!!)
I have the programme on the desktop and run it when needed - loads an icon into the tray.
It lets you draw around the precise bit of screen you want or put a neat rectangular box around it - saves cropping and useful if want a section of a website.
Just click the link (the title of this post) to try it out.

Resource for Numeracy Tutors

This looks a useful resource for creating or modifying numeracy exercises for delivery online.

Once registered (free) a tutor can set up different workgroups for groups of learners (or an individual learner) with specific learning needs. Exercises can be reused as needed.

Be glad of any feedback on this.

Anyway, take a look and stake a claim to your part of Kent!
Just click the box and then the 'Add Yourself' button.
