SchoolsTube
is a brilliant place where active minds can join together and share ground
breaking educational content in a 21st Century Web 2.0 setting.
To gain the most from our site, we recommend the use of relevant technological
solutions:
Internet Browser(s):
Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer, one
of the original Internet Browsers developed and enhanced for todays browsing
experience.
Firefox is a relative newcomer but is biting hard at the heels of Internet
Explorer. The Fox is on the prowl!
Web Technology:
Macromedia Flash
Adobe Reader
Macromedia Flash is
used to play all video and audio content on the SchoolsTube site. Using
Flash, the video and audio files are streamed across the Internet and
play in your browser.
Adobe viewer is a great way of viewing larger documents and is sometimes
used on the SchoolsTube site.
Video Player:
Digital Blue Camera
Disgo Video Camera
Digital Blue Camera
is a brilliant still image and video clip camera.
The Disgo Video Camera has recently joined the ranks of easy to use Internet
Video cameras. Requiring just two AA batteries and with a whopping 1GB
SD memory card (capable of storing up to one hour of video footage) it
is ideal for making your school videos and SchoolsTube strongly recommends
it!
Batteries:
Energizer Lithium
Energizer Lithium,
brilliant last up to seven times the length of traditional batteries,
the best we have found so far to use with the Disgo Video Camera.
Automobiles:
Audi Cars UK
Audi, well what can
we say, fantastic motors that help the SchoolsTube staff get from one
shoot to another.
Anyone got a spare R8 they want to loan us? :-)
Video Editor:
Windows Movie Maker
Windows Movie Maker,
simple and free with Windows operating systems, this is ideal for editing
your content before upload onto the SchoolsTube site.
Easy to use and highly recommended.
Internet Portal(s):
YouTube
Google UK
BBC
MSN Live Search UK
Ask for Kids
Okay we can list sites
here forever, but Youtube, Google, BBC, Live Search and Ask for Kids are
our preferred sites of choice for content, information and searching.
Computer Systems:
HP UK
Toshiba UK
RM
We all have our favourites
and these are ours, based upon general reliability, robustness and performance:
HP, Toshiba (laptops), RM (education systems).
