Ideas To Steal Wat zijn leuke iPad Apps voor kinderen? Deze week kreeg ik een persbericht van oud-collega Wanja Allessie-Kooij over de Woezel en Pip App voor de iPad. Woezel en Pip zijn twee hondjes die destijds zijn bedacht en gecreëerd door Guusje Nederhorst. De avonturen die de hondjes meemaken staan dicht bij de belevingswereld van kinderen. Het doel is om met de avonturen van Woezel en Pip kinderen over de hele wereld in de leeftijd van 0 tot 6 jaar te inspireren en te laten genieten. Guusje haar wens was om kinderen die een moeilijke, verdrietige kindertijd doormaken weer te laten lachen. Guusje heeft haar droom zelf niet meer kunnen waarmaken. Naast het feit dat je met de aankoop van deze App een goed doel steunt, raakte ik enthousiast over de leuke en interactieve manier waarop peuters en kleuters nu spelenderwijs kunnen leren via de iPad. Interactieve prentenboeken voor de iPad Kort na de introductie van de iPad volgde al snel het zeer fraaie ‘Alice for the iPad’. Educatieve Apps voor de iPad
Dyson devises 44 engineering challenges for children during lockdown Dyson has created 44 engineering and science activities for children to try out while at home during the coronavirus pandemic, from making a balloon-powered car to building a bridge from spaghetti. Following the closure of schools across the globe due to Covid-19, designers from the James Dyson Foundation have come up with a series of challenges to help kids learn at home during isolation. Comprised of 22 science tasks and 22 engineering activities, the Challenge Cards can be completed by children using common household items such as eggs, string and balloons. Suited for kids aged seven and above, each challenge comes with a brief, a method, a list of materials needed, a top tip on how to complete it, and a scientific explanation of how it works. Tasks include making an egg fit into a bottle without breaking it, creating a colourful underwater volcano and skewering a balloon without popping it. The James Dyson Foundation has also created some video tutorials

Fake-tilt-shift for Gimp Egentlig er jeg en sverget Photoshop-bruker, men da Biblioteket bad med holde et kurs i digital bildebehandling med ungangspunkt i en gratis programvare var valget enkelt - det måtte bli the gimp. Etter en ukes tid med Gimp er jeg ikke bare overrasket over kraften i programvaren, men også meget fornøyd med den logiske oppbyggingen av menyene og funksjonene. Overgangen mellom Gimp og Photoshop er både enkel og smal. Denne tutorialen er laget som en del av mini-kurset i digital bildebehandling og danner kjernen for den praktiske øvelsen. Før man begynner:Ta et bilde ovenfra i en nedovervendt vinkel i god belysning. Jeg har sett flere lære-guider med andre typer motiver som også har blitt fine, denne guiden er imidlertid beregnet som et startsted for å lære noen grunnleggende funksjoner i gimp og jeg vil derfor ikke gå veldig inn i eksperimenteringsmulighetene som ligger i teknikken. Mitt bilde er tatt fra galleriet på Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek: Here we go: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
