Digital Workshop

I recently completed a publication which will be used across our authority to help younger pupils with their letter formation and handwriting skills. It gave me the chance to learn more about the new drawing features of Opus 6.0 - great tool - well done DW. The publication is designed for use on an interactive white board so using a mouse isn't quite the same but you get the idea

Thanks Dave for sharing,
What functions of opus accomplished the "write"....

Hi,

Do you mean the ability to draw/write in the left window? If so this is down to the new drawing tools available in Opus 6.

In Opus 6 - File>Browse Sample Publications>Opus V6 Highlights>Drawing Tools

Have a look at the scripts in each of the frames. I just took the scripts in the 3 frames and altered them.

Hi David,

A wonderful program

Would you mind if I passed this along to some teachers (south of the border) to look at?

Also, is there a difference between Primary Sassoon and Sassoon Infant - I haven't used them for years and can't recall but I know that one of the people intrested uses PS in her school.

Cheers,

Mack

Hi David

Excellent publication! Should be a hit.

A question: are the crayons you used available? If so, where? I have several sets of pencils and crayons, but nothing quite like these.

Hi Mack,

Yes, by all means pass it on we have to help our impoverished teachers down south

There is an installation file available at http://ictstuff.info

There are 2 Sassoon fonts that I use for publications going to primary classes SassonInfantType and SassoonPrimaryType. They are both very similar except the Primary font is slightly angled giving the look of script and used by older pupils. I would use the infant font for P1&2 (KS1, K6, K6 or plain old 5-7 years old!)

Hi Ray,

The crayons are from Animation Factory

http://www.animationfactory.com

It's a subscription site and one that I use a gread deal. There are different levels of subscription $75 US - I have this one $150 gives you flash and HD videos. Good value at the moment with the US dollar so weak

Ray,

An afterthought - you can contact me through this site:
