I have decided to give the blog a new lease to create some form of light hearted guidance for the use of video in the classroom.

There is the revision pack from edexcel that can be downloaded <a href="http://www.edexcel.org.uk/VirtualContent/50356/MS_REV_LT.pdf">here</a>. The <a href="http://www.wrl-ne.com/downloads/gcse_landt.php">Work Related Learning Website for the North East</a> is also a useful resource.</p> <p>In comparison to Geography the big gap seems to exist that as a teacher I find frustrating is a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/">BBC Bitesize</a> resource to aid revision. This is not just in terms of its online content but also the lack of revision based videos that are so useful in other subjects. </p> <p>So here is the plan....</p> <p>I am going to make a series of my own Bitesize clips that I am calling a Revision Byte, aimed at GCSE Leisure and Tourism. These will eventually cover the whole qualification and will eventually be available on a separate blog or website (I will see how it goes). I also will add pages to support revision and resources to download.</p> <p>I will evaluate the project on this blog, and if interested you subscribe to blog update from the <a href="http://www.geographyatthemovies.co.uk/">geography at the movies</a> website.</p> <p>As I will not and can not spend any money on this I will be searching the web for all sorts of video clips etc. So this will also be interesting to see what is actually out there that we as teachers can use and adapt. May it be legal or not?!?</p> <p>Right so I have <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx">Windows Movie Maker</a> to put the video together. <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a> to add narration to video. <a href="http://blip.tv/">Blip.tv</a> to host the video. All these products are free. I have also downloaded a trial of <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp?CMP=KgoogleCStm">Camtasia Studio</a> which is a great bit of software, but I did not use it in my first movie.</p> <p>So with no further chat here is my first video, it focuses on the first part of "The Travel and Tourism Industry" part of the <a href="http://www.edexcel.org.uk/VirtualContent/18165.pdf">specification</a> (page 14 for edexcel). </p> <p>It states (copied directly from Edexcel spec)</p> <p><font color="#ff8000">You will need to know what tourism is. Tourism is a broad area to define but it usually covers temporary travel away from home or work. An essential part of tourism is the traveller’s intention to return home afterwards. The purpose of visits includes:</font></p> <p><br><font color="#ff8000">• a holiday<br>• sightseeing<br>• visiting an attraction<br>• visiting friends or relatives<br>• going to a sports event as a spectator or to participate<br>• business.</font></p> <p> <center> <script src="http://blip.tv/scripts/pokkariPlayer.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://blip.tv/syndication/write_player?skin=js&posts_id=195612&source=3&autoplay=true&file_type=flv&player_width=&player_height=596" type="text/javascript"></script> <div id="blip_movie_content_195612"><a onclick="play_blip_movie_195612(); return false;" href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-GCSELeisureAndTourismRevisionByte1170.flv"><img title="Click To Play" src="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-GCSELeisureAndTourismRevisionByte1170.flv.jpg" border="0"></a><br><a onclick="play_blip_movie_195612(); return false;" href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-GCSELeisureAndTourismRevisionByte1170.flv">Click To Play</a></div></center> <div class="blip_description"></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822236.post-90684607712014317772007-04-05T16:50:00.001+00:002007-04-05T16:50:54.976+00:00Crazy Talk 2<p>Very much enjoying this I think it could be used to make some excellent visual resources.

Find a picture of a person</p> <p>2. Add your voice</p> <p>3. Crazy talk does the rest</p> <p>4. It can be saved as a wmv file and imported into Windows Movie Maker to add music and effects.</p> <p>The full version comes without the logo that you can see with my example, although it is pricey! However there is a 15 day free trial, and good fun.</p> <p>I wanted to make one using Sherlock Holmes to introduce how to go about solving a thinking skills <a href="http://www.geoworld.co.uk/mys.htm">mystery</a> because I often find it hard to explain and the students are more likely to listen to him. Maybe a set of clips that can remind the students of how they should go about solving the mystery as they go.</p> <p>However the logo would be annoying. Instead I have settled for GATM's most famous supporter. Nice accent Shane! Oh and if you ever read this Mr Warne...this is for educational purposes only!</p> <p> <center> <script src="http://blip.tv/scripts/pokkariPlayer.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://blip.tv/syndication/write_player?skin=js&posts_id=194691&source=3&autoplay=true&file_type=flv&player_width=&player_height=500" type="text/javascript"></script> <div id="blip_movie_content_194691"><a onclick="play_blip_movie_194691(); return false;" href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-ShaneWarne697.flv"><img title="Click To Play" src="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-ShaneWarne697.flv.jpg" border="0"></a><br><a onclick="play_blip_movie_194691(); return false;" href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Adtastic2001-ShaneWarne697.flv">Click To Play</a></div></center> <div class="blip_description"> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822236.post-21526712970001340392007-04-04T18:15:00.001+00:002007-04-04T18:15:18.230+00:00Latest Updates<p>Recently recieved this from Christine LS which is a "Baraka" style movie. </p> <p>Baraka's subject matter includes footage of various landscapes, churches, ruins, religious ceremonies, and cities thrumming with life, filmed using time-lapse photography in order to capture the great pulse of humanity as it flocks and swarms in daily activity.

As teachers we have a few choices:<br /><br />1. Go and take photographs that are our own images. This can be difficult when making a Rainforest movie, especially on my position on the pay scale.<br /><br />2. We can use copyright free images or ask (and get permission) to use. You must also give credit to the owner generally on the same page as that image. If the owner of the images does not reply then more than likely using them will be illegal. Indeed, legislation of educational use of these images is complex and well...frustrating.<br /><br />3. You can pay to use images.<br /><br />Ian Murray at <a href="http://www.geographyphotos.com/index.html">Geographyphotos</a> has the answer excellent value and no copyright worries. He has a range of 4,500 images (some I took..although not many). <br /><br />WOW! A current special offer:<br /><br />Special Christmas and New Year offer - all subscriptions<br />received from now on (until further notice) will be set to run<br />until the end of January 2009 ( yes, 2000 and NINE). This<br />offer will be automatically backdated to all subscriptions and<br />renewals since August 30th 2006. The sooner you join the<br />more time you'll have to use the site.....until 31st January<br />2009. Sign up now by email or post in the subscription form.<br /><br />If we all used <a href="http://">geographyphotos</a> to make our movies then I would only have to worry about all the copyright issues for the music used.
