How to make better voiceovers for your Videos on TeachTweet

This blog entry is to complement the video A short film about sound I made on April 2nd 2013 for #TeachMeet #Ukedchat #TeachTweet Session 147. Because of the limit of 5 minutes, the film could only lightly skirt the theory and process of doing voiceovers. This blog entry augments Read more

Why you need production quality sound on videos

I'm really pleased so many teachers and pupils are making their own videos now but there is one thing that people always cut corners on - and that is sound quality. It doesn't take much to make the sound on a video much, much better; here's a little (squashed!) Read more

Online TV and Radio from L4L after Easter

Over the last year I have been working towards building a series of specialist media channels for L4L. In the last decade I have recorded many, many hours of interviews on video, tape and digital recorders.

Smarter uses of iPads

Last month I went along to the iPads in the Classroom event at the London Knowledge Lab. It was a dissemination of the summation of "research" about the use of iPads in the Classroom. Despite the various studies I am still unconvinced about wholesale use of iPads in classrooms. For Read more

On the appropriate use of Social Media

For the first time in six years, that I know, I have been publicly affronted on twitter. Who did this thing and what did I do to deserve such overt vituperation? Well - it was the MP Douglas Carswell to be precise. He posted this tweet on Saturday 5th January 2012: Without giving Read more

[/caption]                         NEW LAMPS FOR OLD This blog is going to cover a lot of innovation developments very quickly and try to tie together informal and ad hoc wanderings I make over the internet and in “real life”; the people I meet and the reflections they make on education. I have referenced a lot of video in this blog post and I would urge people to take the time to look at these exemplars to get a deeper understanding of the ideas I’m trying to convey in this piece. I often say to people…

Teachers TV files available for download from TES later this month

Excerpt: I have just been informed by a Tweet that Teachers TV will be made available for download by the TES in the near future. In fact they have a very small selection of the archive up already at: http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storyCode=6081871&s_cid=RESads_TTVvideos but still none available for download I can see. So along with Teachers Media (the people behind making TeachersTV) and Ten Alps SchoolsWorld TV (a former Teachers TV investor) and a host of other companies yet to declare, it seems we are spoiled for choice. I am sure the market will decide which flavour of the resource is best and most useful in tandem with,…

So Teachers TV is saved – what about a new Crowdsourced Teachers TV Channel?

Excerpt: So if no-one is going to make Teachers TV programmes anymore in the future – why don’t we do it ourselves? For a few years now I have been perfecting how to do this with minimal equipment and maximising the use of web based services – I think I would be able to run a Teachers TV equivalent on a shoestring and get people to upload their own content. I think this should be a ground up initiative and involve schools at source and Social Enterprise services Obviously people will have to think of IPR and copyright and privacy considerations but the few…

All the King’s Horses and All the King’s Men

Excerpt: Well what a week it has been! Since receiving a letter on the 21st April about the closure of Teachers TV on 29th April and then proposing on twitter via the hashtag #saveTTV, that everyone should do exactly that: “save” Teachers TV, there have been so many wonderful things happen. The next day I put up a Google Docs Spreadsheet for people to log their downloads and a small band of people got together the very next day and sat down to save all the Teachers TV videos. I had suggested that they all be cached on a Dropbox and asked for funding: Dawn…

Teachers’ TV Video Archive – the next stage

Excerpt: CC by 2.0 – Markhillary on Flickr Thank you everyone who made possible the creation of a DropBox for caching the Teachers’ TV Videos. I am going to hold fire on the process of making a DropBox until Tuesday – I want to be absolutely sure that people will be able to upload the files and that they can be re-encoded within the terms of the Creative Licence. I have just heard from @richardanderson that all the files are on iTunes U but from @markw29 that they will be removed imminently. But in the meantime I would like anyone who can, to now donate…
