All hail Bob! The man's a genius. He sorted out all the fiddly bits with the Physics Illustrator and I've had a wee hour playing around with it. It is brilliant! (Screenshots to follow - might try and grab some video with captivate) Bob, who is a star by the way, is also working on making a...

Having done a bit of Googling over the weekend, I found that the new toy I so eagerly crave is available as a free download from Microsoft for TabletPC. Unfortunately it will not work with a non-tablet PC. Or so I thought..... Further Googling revealed that the source code is apparently freely available and that...

Saw this on youtube and was completely blown away. [kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/d7eGypGOlOc" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /] I must have this, I don't care how much it costs (the authority). [thanks to Lynne for the 'how to' on embedding video]

No, its not a lower league football result. My new Capitvate2 quiz is to be found here - Electricity Quiz 2 All new quizzes will be linked to in 'My Work' over there -->

After the last posting, I was grateful to receive very useful advice from more seasoned hands as to where to begin making something interactive. Thanks to Andrew I dipped a toe into making something using Captivate 2 and have produced a wee quiz for a physics unit I've been doing. It is a bit rough...

I am really itching to put together some properly interactive stuff together, even if it's just wee revision quizzes, but know very little about how to even get started. I've spoken to Maggie about looking into getting 'Breeze', she also gave me an exceedingly large folder to help me learn 'Flash', and I've been dead...

Just getting back to reality after last week's conference at Inveraray. I was so impressed to see the work being done by my colleagues in primary (video editing, enterprise and hospitality); pre-school (interactive whiteboarding, digital photography and robotics); and modern languages (digital audio, podcasting and blogging) that I felt a bit of a one-trick pony...

Been looking for bits and bobs for the kids to use to help reinforce real practical situations in physics. I came across a couple of sites offering free software downloads - www.physicslab.co.uk www.visualsimulations.co.uk The material is excellent - not just demonstrations, but interactive too. I've recommended that the pupils download it and have a play,...

Yippee! I finally got the XP part of the mac to stop treating the projector as an extended desktop. Just in time for the arrival of the ebeam interactive whiteboard. It now works as I had intended all along. If only its XP personality didn't take quite so long to boot up and log on...

Today's ALBA install on my new split-personality MacPCBookProXP went swimmingly after circumventing the very fussy internal DVD drive (it seemed to want the disk to be surgically clean). Only after I'd transferred the necessary files to the network from my trusty old PC, which would happily try to read a Hob-Nob, did I get started....
