...that flowol is actually cool...

After doing GCSE's in ICT and Electronics and an A-level in Computing, I have seen enough of flow charts and diagrams to last me a lifetime. However, Flowol brings it down to a child's level. There are only so many options, and with teaching input from the teacher, and the children having the time to interact with Flowol beforehand, can create some phenomenal pieces using this technology.

Children have to start by thinking logically to get the basic system to work. However it is good for promoting creativity. For example, the ferris wheel system is fairly simple to set up to go round and stop. However, children can think creatively to say how many turns, when to stop, how the lights will flash, and can have diagrams that cover the whole page.

I would certainly consider using this with older KS2 children, certainly as an option to push and develop children's logic and to some extent creativity through ICT.
