@primarypete_ sounds interesting, I'll ask my lot tomorrow. 01:35:30 PM September 05, 2010 from Echofon in reply to primarypete_
@eylanezekiel I use Echofon on the iPhone and have done for months. Brizzly app better than Twitter, but not as good as Echofon IMO. 11:01:32 AM September 05, 2010 from Echofon in reply to eylanezekiel
@parslad Aye, will update the wiki this weekend and put that, the surveymonkey and the email address on it. 05:28:42 PM September 04, 2010 from Echofon in reply to parslad
@dalzinho I use Brizzly on my laptop, it's web based, sort of in between Twitter.com and a client. I like it a lot. 10:33:47 AM September 04, 2010 from txt in reply to dalzinho

Glow Light February 21, 2010
I’ve heard a fair number of criticisms from people that Glow is too complicated to use, and that people find it difficult to navigate. Since I saw Glow in 2007, I’ve been thinking about how the interface could be pared down, so that people could focus on what they need it to do. I’ve spoken with hundreds of people that are using Glow, and their insight has h […]

Mission Explore - from the Geography Collective January 31, 2010
I’ve been big fan of Mission Explore ever since Alan, Dan and Dave told me about it a while ago – it’s a fantastic concept that has the potential to have real impact. "Mission:Explore is a project to engage (young) people with geography through playful and thought provoking missions. Mission:Explore encourages people to explore new places in alternativ […]

The New and Improved Print Capture in Notebook 10.6 January 29, 2010
*UPDATE* Print Capture does not currently work on Windows 7 machines. SMART are aware of the issue and are working on a solution. We will provide updates when we receive them. Once upon a time, there was a feature in SMART Notebook that allowed one to print from a Word document into the Notebook software. It was quite nice. In recent versions of Notebook, […]

Personal projects are often worth more than professional ones. What's stopping you? January 25, 2010
Shared by Iain Sometimes I think we can forget we owe ourselves some time too! It's all too easy to relegate our personal projects to the bottom of the pile until "the day job" is complete. The result? We nearly always end up having to leave creative, fun, new projects behind in the interest of ticking someone else's boxes, when those sam […]

#BETT2010 - Manga High January 24, 2010

#BETT2010 - Musii January 23, 2010
One of the great things about BETT is walking around and seeing all the little booths with small developers in them. I saw Musii in one of them – I'll let them explain what it does… "Musii is a interactive music system designed for play and developmental therapy.Musii is a soft inflatable object that emits sound and is illuminated with colour when […]

Fun on Friday #56: If an infinite number of monkeys... January 23, 2010
A brilliantly simple idea. Adapt a camera so that it releases a raisin whenever a picture is taken. And here's the part that is true genius - give the camera to an orang-utan. Oh... and while you're at it, automatically send the photos taken to a facebook account.I saw the report in cnet and but you can go straight to the facebook page if you prefe […]

#BETT2010 - RM Future Learning Spaces (indoor learning) January 22, 2010
For the second year in a row RM had a future learning spaces exhibition in the O2 arena next to the main BETT Exhibition Space. I really enjoy walking around this space even though I have seen a lot of the products a lot of times before now – there is something about it that makes me think. Here are some of the things that I caught my eye: 1) A giant video […]

I hate marking! January 22, 2010
While I fully understand the importance of assessment and how valuable it is in learning, simply knowing this doesn't make the process of marking any more pleasant.Free ManureOriginally uploaded by slimmer_jimmerRight now, I am knee deep in a pile of 3,500 word essays. Perhaps I'm getting punchy, I'm definitely getting tired, but I find myself […]

AudioBoo

January 26th, 2010 by H-Blog

I have used AudioBoo to record a few pieces for the EDUTalk project, one at a Dark Sky Scotland event I was at, one on assessment in my classroom and another which sort of turned into a rant about Community Learning Partnerships.

AudioBoo is fantastically easy to use, and makes publishing audio to the web incredibly easy for anyone with an iPhone (I think it’s cousin, PhoneBoo does the same for non iPhone users).

Going to try and post the audio below. Have a listen and see what you think.

I mean, how great is that? And it’s so easy to use. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Think I’ll try and get the AudioBoos going in class – think my students will love it.
