http://www.xtranormal.com/ - I love this website and its application. A great resource for creating really high quality movies that you can publish. I've uploaded some test movies in recent weeks and then captured them for use in a presentation. Yesterday I demonstrated it to a room of media and TV professionals and they were amazed at the quality and how quickly you could create a movie. Continue

Grantchester - technology-free

Had a fantastic day yesterday at Grantchester, lunch at The Orchard, walked to Cambridge through the meadows and then back for afternoon tea. Not a byte of technology in sight, but I wonder what Brooke, Woolf and Wittgenstein would have made of BlackBerries (not with apples), iPhones, wifi and the like. Possibly quite a lot. I sat with my pen and notebook - the paper sort - and felt very erudite. Getting the balance right between using technology and not throwing out everything from the past see… Continue

There's a great deal to do and I've made a good start. Just need to stay fit and healthy and on the bsll. Enough cliches. To work! Continue

Animation

Working on various animation projects with our pupils, have completed a cross curricular project with our S1 and the History department on the Stone Age. See one of the videos that I have uploaded of the pupils work. History Dept worked on the storyboard and we worked on the technical site , only problems were the limits with the technology. Pupils expectations were only the problem, trying to transfer their ideas from the storyboard to animation. Pupils enjoyed the task and have now created oth… Continue

Interesting summer courses with an option to visit Holland

Just to let you know there are (at least :-)) 2 courses at the Utrecht Summer School that might interest you: one on designing for WEB 2.0 (including an introduction to the LanguageQuest quality criteria) and another specifically about the didactic use of Interactive Whiteboards. And participants who would like to extend their visit to the Netherlands can apply for an additional period of campus accommodation at 125 Euro (!) per week. More info an… Continue

We just don't do it........

You know that spooky feeling of deja 'vu?. Well was I surprised when the LEA support organisation told me over the phone ' we just don't support Windows Vista' - well truth be told I was'nt, but we are in the technology game here people. I've got Year 3's running Windows Vista on there home PC when I am told in the school you can only run XP - does anyone out there have a forward looking LEA support organisation? I would love to know. Mixing pain with pleasure as they say the Fizzbook is getti… Continue

The Spin is here!

Finally got the Spin today, which as you may tell I have been quite anxious to get my hands on. First view on getting out of the box were, 'neat unit compact and lightweight', the handle which adourns other Fizzbook models is as quite as 'in your face' on this model which is a good thing. Turning on, boots in to Windows XP Home, abit slowly I think, my 4 year old would have probably gone to make a cup of coffee by the time it had loaded up, (thats a metaphorical cup of coffee for those who don'… Continue

The Fizzbook Spin

In the era of Minibooks that flood the market, I sit here an wait for the CityLink man to turn up with an evaluation Fizzbook Spin unit for me to play with for the week. The Spin is the tablet version of the Fizzbook which has not quite hit the streets yet, all solid state I am led to believe with small enough keys and mouse for even the smallest fingers to use ideal for primary learners! Of course for £279, the thing that appeals is flippin the lid and making it into a writing device that can… Continue

Technology not made easy in Norfolk

A few weeks ago I had an excellent day at the John Innes Centre for he Norfolk ICT Conference, in the company of people like Russell Prue and John Davitt. Russell Prue gave an inspiring speech about 21st Century Education which put very broad smiles on people like myself. However to move ICT forward in Primary Schools in Norfolk, there has to be co-operation, a good example is today I tried to download the new release of Internet Explorer 8, which has some good quick tips for our users such as… Continue

Radiowaves

Our school has entered the Kingdom FM Radiowaves competition,this is an another excellent use of ICT in the classroom. This competition was open to all age groups. Each school was asked to make a 2min 30 sec environmental documentary. Good use of literacy skills needed by the pupils as well as multimedia skills. Started using Radiowaves about a year ago, thinking about taking the next step and having a school radio station. Here's a link to our entry:… Continue
