Updating Twitter

Photo soup
Saturday, June 7th, 2008I think Photo Soup is a nice little application. You choose a key term, in this case Bangladesh, and it generates a crossword based on the tags associated with Bangladesh photos in Flickr. Sadly embedding messes up the blog template.

MyStudiyo
Sunday, May 25th, 2008
Just playing with a new web tool called MyStudiyo, it allows you to produce multiple choice quizzes that can be embedded into blogs and web pages, you can also provide a link to the quiz on the website. Very useful because it allows you to monitor the results of answers, so you can target revision. Users, in this case students, can also register, so you can judge an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. I’ve put together a simple example below.
Video Spin
Saturday, February 16th, 2008
I’ve had a little play with Video Spin today, it is a free slim down version of Pinnacle. Much easier to use than Windows Movie Maker, but less presentation tools, there is an option for upgrades. The interesting utility is the range of export formats, flash, Real Player, wmv, ipod and Sony psp. The last two formats might be particularly useful for student revision videos. The programme will even upload your video straight to sharing sites, such as You Tube.

Thanks to the individuals 103 individuals that have downloaded the Cyclone Sidr resources, a special thanks to those that have said ‘thanks’ and Alan for his efforts in advertising them over the last week. I will leave them for another week.
For teachers: Cyclone Sidr resource
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007
As part of my International study visit to Bangladesh, one of my targets was to produce an educational resource. This is now complete.
The resource is based on Cyclone Sidr and is aimed at Key Stage 3, it consists of six lessons and forms a complete case study.
Google Earth- A celestial view
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007As reported on the B.B.C. , Google Earth now allows you to view the night sky from your position on the Earth, it requires an update, perhaps this would be useful to our science colleagues? I had a good exploration of the sky.
Embeddable Google Maps- Berlin Style.
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007Inspired by Noel Jenkins, I’ve been having a play with Google Maps for a couple of projects I want to work on over the coming year. The maps are now embeddable, you can add images and videos as well. Here is an example of a Berlin walk from the MFL-Humanities visit, including a video from student blogger Stringy, it took me around twenty minutes. Direct link.
