MoLeNET - James CLay Sessions

I know it sounds like a John Peel rip off but its not, honestly!

Listened / took part in three webcasts with James today. Really enjoyed them all and will, without doubt, refer back to them in the next week as we start our first vod and podcasting sessions with the project. The new kit for casting arrived today, 2 x flash card camcorders plus the audio only devices. We are scheduled to record a lesson next week and will cast it out.

Also today we have a management meeting. We are meeting at Tresham to review the questionnaire and disucss the formation of the teaching groups. The questionnaire is ready just in time for the researchers visit next week and meets the deadline of the end of the month.

LSIS - ecpd

1/2 way through the ecpd event 29th Jan, finding the facilitated discussion to be very useful. Im sat in a group with Tony Jewson so we are having discussions that are really useful. Really liking the card exercise. More later.......

RSC EM - Quick and Easy Video Event

Quick piece of reflection following the mornings session. I attended this event hoping that I would gain some useful tips to help me improve the quality of some of the basic video work we've started doing already. Ben opened the event and got us using moviemaker instead of what I normally use which is pinnacle. During the session I also spent time researching vodcasting and some of the free packages that can be used to help produce them. Really enjoyed the chance to play with moviemaker and research some of the most recent publications on pod and vod casting. Have some good ideas that I will get take back and use with Peter J and Mark W which will benefit the project. Also tried logging into MoleTV following my registration last week but didn't want to let me play, will follow this up tomorrow.
