2 Create a Superstory Archive

2Create a Super Story (2CaSS) is a creative piece of software from an amazing company called 2Simple. It is designed for use in primary schools and allows pupils to create their own activities and games. They launched it at BETT this year and it looks likely to become a firm favourite of primary ict teachers everywhere!

In its most simple form, children can simply click, drag and insert  elements of an activity on screen and then save their work as a flash (.swf) file that can be inserted, or embedded, onto a webpage (blog/wiki/VLE etc) or kept locally and played through a web browser. It’s great for KS1 ICT.

The software even allows for lip syncing audio with characters and augmented reality with a webcam!

Simon Widdowson (@xannov) has put together the SCaSS archive to showcase some of the excellent uses of 2CaSS that have been created by schools / pupils, so that you can be inspired to get your pupils to create their own. You can also share your creations with everyone else by signing up for the site.

Take a look at the archive- and hopefully get inspired. Get a copy of 2CaSS and try it out for yourself!
