I supported a group of year four children at East Peckham School for the morning of 12th October. The children worked on a short animation starring a couple of colourful monsters.

I worked with an enthusiastic group of year 6 pupils at Hildenborough CE School this week. They started to script and record their first Podcast show.

Jing  is a fantastic and powerful program from TechSmith that can be downloaded for free.  Using Jing it is easy to capture still screen images or to create video screencasts (recordings of what is on your computer screen), and then share them. Images or videos can be saved to your computer and/or stored online.

Look in the September 07 blog archive. They will have a home of their own at some point soon.

Tonight saw the launch of a FlashMeeting project in the Tonbridge cluster.
FlashMeeting is a simple video conferencing system that uses Flash technology to run a meeting in your browser window.
Each of the participating schools received a Logitch QuickCam Pro webcam.
Currently one teacher from each of the schools will have been signed up with a login account. Extras will need to be requested as other classes wish to use FlashMeeting.

I will be working with FlashMeeting over the coming weeks. I have booked a test meeting and made a test recording with no trouble at all using my MacBook and its built in camera.
