Brought mindomo.com to our attention.
mindomo is a more in depth mind mapper that can be embedded into HTML or used as a webpart on your learning Platform. The ability to add hyperlinks to it is one of its more attractive features.

Mark showed us dabble board.

Dabbleboard is a powerful online whiteboard that's actually easy and fun to
use. With a revolutionary new interface, Dabbleboard gets out of your way
and just lets you draw.

Draw with flexible tools. Reuse previously-made drawings. Share and
collaborate in real-time. All as naturally as using a marker or a pencil.

This tool makes it easy for us all to collaborate on the same
whiteboard.

Dave brought Revision 3 website to our attention as a good example of how to share online video content that we create within the classroom environment. It was however, pointed out that we are currently already using the wildern.tv website to upload multimedia content within a safe environment.

Firefox is a very handy web browser. instead of just using Internet explorer take a look at the alternatives, you may find them more to your liking. Firefox can be extended. there is a massive library of addons for firefox making it do anything from syncing bookmarks across computers.

Using WildernTV to showcase your Digital Media



On July 1st 2008, Longton CLC worked with Staffordshire Partnership to deliver an exciting course called school TV. The course sows teachers how to to get their digital media, such as movies, music and image galleries online in a safe environment.

The course went well with 20 teachers in attendance. Phil explained how the City Learning Centre has created an account for them to use on the day.

After a brief overview of "iMovie" and "I can animate" the teachers all set about making their own short films.

After Lunch, the films were uploaded to the LongtonTV interface. The films were then approved for viewing by the moderator. This all took just a few minutes to complete.

Brilliant animations online, free of charge, in minutes and no danger of unsuitable material being viewed by the students.

Teachers are constantly faced with the problem of where to display the great examples of students work to a wider audience, and how to do it safely.

Developed as a "YouTube" workaround. Tim Dalton, ICT Development Manager at Wildern School Southampton used "TrilbyTV to begin a pilot scheme last year.

The Wildern TV interface uses a special filter that allows teachers to become moderators. This gives them the ability to decide who should be able to view their work.

Materials created by yr 10 students may not be suitable for students in KS1-2. This ability to filter is very useful for teachers.

If you are interested in learning how to create your own School TV channel, contact the Longton High City Learning Centre.
