Wikis in Plain English
We made this video because wiki web sites are easy to use, but hard to describe. We hope to turn you on to a better way to plan a camping trip, or create the next Wikipedia.

A video round up of some the new developments at BETT 2008.
Making the News is a free online publishing system for education that enables news to be published, broadcast and accessed over the World Wide Web. Text, images, animation, video and audio can be easily submitted to the MTN website via a simple-to-use submission form.
MTN is very simple to use. Upload video, text, images, podcasts etc through a single clean submission form. Pupils and Teachers will master the process in minutes.
Each school can have its own home page and account and it is all FREE.
Students and teachers have a new way of communicating with the world - by using blogs! After requests for a safe environment from a number of schools and Local Authorities for blogging, YHGfL are piloting their newly created Classblog. See http://shareit.yhgfl.net Specially designed and created to appeal to children and teenagers, the facility allows all students and teachers to safely write a blog from within their school/college - via a username and password.
The blogs will be fully moderated, can be accessed globally and once written, the text cannot be altered by other users. YHGfL have added in the ability to videocast/podcast so that users can download entries to a variety of devices, e.g. mp3 and mp4 players.
Currently, the project is being piloted by Wakefield and Calderdale and it is then to be rolled out across the region.
Free music downloads are available to all YHGfL member schools, thanks to a unique service via the National Education NetworkThrough the project, teachers and students have access to literally thousands of music tracks of original composition, performances and recordings.
Audio Network provides schools and colleges with free access to rights-cleared, industry-standard, audio files for editing and re-use in school. It can be used for a whole range of creative activities in any subject area and at any Key Stage - but, says YHGfL’s Collaborative Technologies Manager, Andrew Lickley, it is particularly useful for pupils making soundtracks.
