The stream is all over the place constantly rebuffering... large 4 or 5 second gaps.

I am listening via iTunes on an iMac. Internet access is by 20 meg plus line

I agree totally about creativity... It is essential that we can find ways of introducing creativity into an ICT curriculum that encourages learning applications instead of exploration and creativity. My own personal experience with students involved in our Films for Learning project (http://www.filmsforlearning.org) have shown that when the gloves are off, students respond creatively. Again increased self esteem is just one of the by products of our approach to film making.

This project has been great for testing some of our ideas about creativity but how do we apply it in a wider context. What incentive is there for successful schools who produce good results to 'break' from the regular curriculum to include creative learning?

Thanks Peter

I can see that our MP3 streaming performance is looking a little poor, I am sorry that you are having this experience, thanks for letting me know
