Archived notesYou may post comments to our message boardPut our video collection on CD
To store the video you need a CD-R drive (DVD might be premature) To capture the video you need a capture card such as an ‘All-in-Wonder’ which you’ll find is capable of good capture and also comes with the software you need. Finally you need to work out what’s the best file format for the job. Keep in mind that easy access is the objective. Go to www.vcdhelper.com for the technical stuff. Eg Here’s you’ll learn that video CDs (VCD) use PAL video 352x288 at 25 fps at 1M Bit / sec and this looks fine in a window and you get an hour’s worth of video on a CD. Yr 7 reproduction

reproduction Ecology GCSE revision game
I
have just published a trial version of an electronic GCSE revision game. This
one uses questions on ecology, but the code will accept text files with other
questions so it is very easy to adapt for other subjects. The final version will
have to be distributed on CD-ROM because it will be far too big to download on
the internet in a sensible time. It is at: http://www.purchon.com/ecology/cool/ecology.htm Activities for Primary ICT and science

I
want to save some of the interesting web pages that are out there. Some are
fine; but some I get the basic background, no text, no pictures and no
animations. How can I 'suck' the web from these sites? I
too have been looking for ways to. Two ideas for now - Single
pages: Use Internet Explorer 5, choose file save and look for the 'files of
type' option to save page as a ‘single file’. This may not save animations
however – eg those at www.explorescience.com would not save in this way. Whole
sites: Use MS FrontPage - File/Import sucks in a whole web site. Simulations in primary scienceHello, I hope you can help me. I am a student studying Primary Education. My
subject specialism is science. I have just delivered a presentation regarding
the use of simulations in primary science. I had great difficulty finding any
resources for this presentation, and only managed to find secondary school
simulations on the internet. The website I used was www.explorescience.com. I
now need to write an assignment on this topic and would be very grateful if you
could pass on any information/links you have regarding the use of simulations in
primary science. How to make a wonderfully irritating Web page
From www.builder.com: Your fastest ticket is to use an animated GIF as the
background attribute of the soon-to-be-offending Web page's <body> tag,
like so: <body background="animated.gif"> The image animates as it loads. Any post-1996 image editor should be able to
generate a GIF animation, and you can download several shareware and demo
applications, some of which come with easy-to-use wizards. This trick isn't just
stupid, it's certifiably awful. We found it on Awful Link Of The Day from
www.somethingaweful.com the same people responsible for a phenomenon that has
single-handedly destroyed worker productivity for months on end. We're not just
about petty vindictiveness and infantile humor; we're about blame, and we're
blaming them. Send us a URL for your favorite, and we might show you how to
implement it. Examples of ICT to enhance thinking

I am a 3rd year primary education (BA) student currently
working on my dissertation. The focus for my research is on the effective use of
ICT in enhancing children's understanding of a chosen area in primary science. I
am currently looking for current research which will help me with my own
research. Do you know of any website addresses or have any recommendations for
good reading material, where I might find articles which will help me with
my project? People are doing research in colleges everywhere, tons
of it by the mail I get so if you track this down let me know too. Research
tends to be more practically based e.g. annual OFSTED reports on ICT throws up
things the School Inspectors think are good. Becta is the govt organisation www.becta.org.uk
that does research. They have a dept called 'Evidence' and they publish
plenty about different technologies. See also the research done by the Fisher
Trust www.fishertrust.org Any research on benefits of ICT?
I am a school science technician in my final year of
a part-time Degree course in Computing at Start with Becta - the government agency at www.becta.org.uk and
their VTC. Another place is teem.org.uk and the research done by the Fisher
Trust www.fishertrust.org With the variety of teachers likes it's hard to get a
sense of what's good. Science diagrams
Focus
Educational have a science diagrams package. Demo downloadable from http://www.focuseducational.com/ SSERC www.sserc.org.uk created masses of clipart for Acorn systems. It needs Oakdraw to edit the clip art and a Windows version of this software is available. The result is a bit clunky. Those who grew up using Acorn machines might consider an alternative: recently I heard of an Acorn RISCOS emulator which for 30 pounds lets you run Acorn Draw on the PC. Two virtual labs allow you to copy and paste apparatus -
you can download demos of Chemlab2 (www.download.com)
