Present about PBwiki and upgrade your educational wiki for free

I’m going to do a presentation about pbwiki to the rest of staff at school and the nice people at pbwiki provide a presenter pack for you to use.  Not only that, they will give you 3 Gold upgrades for free – one for you and two for you to give away.  Sounds like a good deal to me….  instructions below.

Thanks for requesting a PBwiki Presenter Pack!

We didn’t expect to get such a huge response from our email yesterday, so when we saw the flood of hundreds and hundreds of emails coming in, we almost fainted. Fortunately, we just set up a better system to handle lots and lots of PBwiki Presenter Pack requests.

To get your Presenter Pack, please do us a favor and re-enter your information here:

Thanks,

Radio Adverts part 2

I’m continuing to play with splashcast and I think it could be a good vehicle for publishing pupil’s work. I have now added the year 9s radio adverts for their fictitious business. You can have a listen here or click on Mr C’s Splashcast page in the top right hand corner.

Broadcast SHR

In ICT club we spent about three weeks putting together a podcast of one of the weekly notice sheets.  The aim is to produce more podcasts on various topics which we will host on BroadcastSHR but we may have to wait until the exam silly season is over….

For wordpress bloggers – if you want more control when formatting the text in your posts then try pressing alt-v (ctrl-v on the mac) and another set of icons appear…

Radio Adverts

Year 9’s are focusing on an imaginary business this year.  They have just completed a radio advert for the business using Audacity

Have a listen – you can find their latest blog posts containing the ads on the right hand side.

TED talks

I think Steve first put me on to some of the videos available from TED (Technology Entertainment and Design Conference) talks.  I really enjoyed Sir Ken Robinson’s talk and now thanks to this TED splashcast channel you can choose who you want to listen to (it will continue to be updated throughout the year).  To select a different speaker (a different show) move your mouse over the player to activate the control and then click on guide.  I’ve only seen Sir Ken’s talk on creativity and I would highly recommend it, I’m also going to have a listen to Rick Warren.  Add a comment if you come across one you would recommend.
