DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
BOYS: To integrate digital technology, teachers could consider including a microprocessor into the wooden sword with led lights. The Microbit can be programmed to set a series of led lights flashing. The different colour leds could be the ‘gemstones’ set into the handle (decorative/artwork). Alternatively, a Makeblock Laser Sword kit set could be given to students to assemble and programme.

E-TEXTILES: Girls could use e-sewing skills to create Viking patterns and symbols on fabric (clothing). They could explore a more modern approach to portray Viking fashion:
Here is an an example of some e-sewing (e-textiles) skills.
GIRLS: Teachers could introduce the Lilypad Arduino (or similar) microprocessor. The microprocessor, with conductive thread as the electrical circuit, leds, and a coin battery could be sewn onto any garment/bag, etc.

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come
here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create
your theme? Exceptional work!
Hi Ella

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because
your design and style seems different then most blogs
and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi Dorris
I am using WordPress with the Woocommerce plugin (to receive payments via Stripe). WordPress is outstanding! I haven’t heard about BlogEngine & B2evolution and Drupal.
