UStream about Calendar apps

Filed under Calendars, Google, Video Tools

This is my first attempt to use UStream along with a free application for adding effects to your videos called CamTwist. In the video, I talk about two other applications Spanning Sync (to sync between iCal and Google Calender) and GooSync (to sync between mobile and Google Calendar).

What do you think of this attempt? Am I really an angel?? :-)

A Range of Resources

Filed under Curriculum Links, Google, Video Tools, Wikis, tutorials

Well, I’ve been rather quiet recently as the Year Group meetings take quite a long time to put together. Stil, I have been finding some very interesting bits and pieces as I prepare for them and I have also been making some handouts for workshops that others might be interested in.

OK – here is a list of things that may or may not be useful to you.

List of links for different year groups.
http://zerototwo.wikispaces.com/Great+links+for+Juniors
http://threetofour.wikispaces.com/Yr+3and4+Links
http://fivetosix.wikispaces.com/Yr+5and6+Links (still being worked on)
http://seventoeight.wikispaces.com/Yr+7and8+Links

When you on each year group space, you will notice in the left hand navigation menu that there are also pages for great use of ICT under different currciulum headings. I have started to add to these but this will be an ongoing project.

Here are the links to some of my latest software wiki resources

  • A huge bank of sites to find film resources and short films that you could use in the classroom.
  • A restructuring of my large wikis page into smaller pages with two new downloadable tutorials added to the Wikispaces page.
  • Two new downloadable tutorials on my Powerpoint page about adding audio and about customising backgrounds of slides.
  • Much prettier and easier to use index pages such as this one for online tools.

I have also found a really great resource on the Google Educators page with this unit on using Google Docs for revision of writing. There are a number of downloadable worksheets to support the unit. There are a number of other resources on the Google Educators page so it is worth checking out.
