Is this better than the photosynth one??
Tags:
Bit disapointed with this, the photos need some enhancing but I wanted to see the 3D effect that this would give me.
What I have realised is that the really good ones of these that are on the Photosynth site have about 200+ photos! so I think that is why this one isn't as 3D as I would like because I have only used 9.
This does limit its use in education.

This event has several objectives:
- will be used as a communication portal creating an online community.
- lots of the schools at present are grappling with integrating share point and the learning gateway. Some schools are using share point effectively for administration, but not with students. There are a wide range of experiences and view points ranging from management through to teaching and to technical.
Kirsten Weatherby Academic Programme Manager
Currently there are 12 innovative schools around the world, issues that these schools shared in common include:
The 6 i process is a way for schools to evaluate themselves.
Is designed to help create CPD programme, online communities, and an innovative virtual classroom.There are 3 phases of an innovative teachers programme
Innovative Teachers Forum could be a great platform for promoting the use of web 2.0 technologies within the classroom.

Aim:- To come up with a plan in the aftermath of the cyclone that will mean that you can survive until aid arrives.
What is it like living in Burma before the cyclone hit?
Where is Burma?
What is a cyclone?
What do you need to survive?
What hazards might you encounter after the cyclone has hit?
What resources might you have around you?
These are only some questions that you might answer. You need to come up with your some of your own.
You will present your findings in a way that you feel would give the best results.

Produce images to explain how the human body responds to one environmental factor to safeguard itself
Choose an environmental factor from the list below (alternatively you can choose your own)
Use the relevant information sheet, text books and the internet to produce at least 6 slides explaining how the body responds to protect itself from your chosen factor.
Each slide must contain:-
Use the internet to find a real life example from the news where this has occurred. For example if you choose the environmental factor cold you may want to find an example in the news of when someone has got stuck up a mountain and suffered hypothermia.
I suggest that you do this on PowerPoint and dedicate 1 slide to one key point or example. You will need to produce a minimum of 6 slides.
Alternatively, you could create a table in word with 2 columns, one column containing the written information and the second column containing the key image.
This is a bit dated so you can have a giggle at the way we all used to dress but it was a TV series that the BBC did in the 90s called 999.
There is a detailed information sheet available to get you started but individual research is also required.
There are a number of useful websites.
BBC Information on Hypothermia
Human Bodies Adaptive Responses to Starvation
the Biology for you text book also contains lots of relevant information.

Produce a preview article for the programme "Meet the Astronomer - how do you detect space objects?"
To know and understand the Universe we have to be able to "see it". Astronomers detect the electromagnetic radiation emitted by space objects to decipher Space. Information for this, again, can be found on the BBC website which has interviews with Sir Patrick Moore the presenter of 'The Sky at Night'.
The NASA website also supplies a great deal of information on the use of the electromagnetic spectrum in the detection of space objects.
The range of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum allows astronomers to gather information.
For example:
Using instruments that detect these ways, astronomers can detect objects in terms of colour, temperature, composition and velocity.
Information in the form of visible light, radio waves and electromagnetic radiation from space reaches the surface of Earth. However, astronomers have striven to improve the effectiveness of their communication receivers. This has been accomplished by:
This has resulted in new instrumentation such as the Hubble Telescope, NASA's Swift and HETE satellites and in missions, for example NASA's launch of the New Horizons mission to Pluto, improving the detection of space radiation.
With the growth in use of satellites exploring space, candidates would have the opportunity to examine the methods of communication that might be available or improved on.

In the lesson we discussed different ways of keeping fit.
Using this website Supersize vs Super skinny
I want you to write a comment about what you notice about their diets and lifestyles.
Atricle from CBBC Newsround
The amount of seriously overweight children in England has doubled in the last 10 years, according to research.
One in four kids is obese, says the Health and Social Care Information Centre after quizzing 2,000 children.
Campaigners said England was facing a "health timebomb", and the government should do more in order to stop the rise of childhood obesity by 2010.
Being badly overweight can lead to things like diabetes and heart problems in later life.
Click here to find out more about obesity
Professor Colin Waine, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said there was a danger that kids would not live as long as their parents.
The government says it has already made big steps towards dealing with the problem through campaigns to feed kids more fruit and veg and to promote school sports.

PANORAMA 18 FEBRUARY AT 8.30pm
"A jug of tap water will be fine thanks..."
Renaud from Claridges gives Tom Heap advice on bottled water. On hearing these words uttered at the neighbouring restaurant table, what do you think? Puritan tightwad or sensible free thinker, resistant to the marketing hype?
Our investigation might give you something to chew on.
Back in the 70s we drank hardly any bottled water. I remember distinctly going to 'the continent' on holiday back then and viewing the inhabitants with a mixture of pity and superiority as they drank from the bottle and mistrusted their tap.
But who's laughing now?
We drink 200 times as much bottled water today as we did back then and the market in Britain is worth close to £2 billion.
'Eau' chic
Ironically it was those very European associations that gave bottled water its marketing cachet.
We asked English and Welsh council's how much they spend on water, here are the results
Brilliantly exploited by Perrier in their 'Eau' campaign, it brought Mediterranean chic to our tables from Hounslow to Harrogate.
And once that high class link was established, British brands took off too - Buxton, Malvern, Strathmore and the rest. Today, to be truly exclusive, water is sourced from even further afield - Hawaii, New Zealand and Fiji.
So, now should we stand back and admire the brilliant machinations of capitalism and its ability to create wealth and jobs from nowhere or shout out that the emperor has no clothes?
The bottled water business itself makes no claims for the healthiness or safety of their product above what flows from the tap and in our blind taste test tap water performed quite well.
But the industry does insist that they're encouraging people to drink more water rather than sugary soft drinks, thus helping the nations health and hydration.
But I sense a sea change, driven by an undercurrent of environmentalism which now questions economic activity rather than celebrates it.
The bottled mineral water market is worth £2 billion
Producing and delivering a litre of bottled water emits hundreds of times as much greenhouse gas as a litre of tap water.
Then you've got the plastic, only one quarter of which is recycled or the glass that eats so much energy to make and re-use.
Our environment minister, Phil Woolas, cited all these as motives for returning to the tap (although he did admit to being still partial to a drop of the fizzy stuff).
But it was something else which led him to claim that bottled water was "morally unacceptable" - the discomforting fact that while we have perfectly good tap water we spend approaching £2 billion on bottled water when a billion people around the world don't have safe water.
In effect, we treat water as a luxury bauble while others die from its absence.
One of the places we import bottled water from Fiji.
Called Fiji Water, it travels 10,000 miles to be sold in restaurants and upmarket shops such as Waitrose, Harvey Nichols and Harrods.
Fiji Water bottling plant
Fiji Water's bottling plant supplies London's restaurants and shops
But on the South Pacific island one-third of the population don't have access to safe clean drinking water.
We visited villages where bad water had triggered an outbreak of typhoid - 20 people had been infected and one had died.
We saw hospitals reporting a constant flow of patients laid low by dodgy drinking water.
The Fiji Water company is not responsible for the islander's supplies.
They provide water to some villages near the plant and they are putting some money towards clean water projects across the islands.
Indeed Fiji Water would make the case that if you really care about the plight of Fijians you should buy Fiji water as it provides jobs and income for the islands.
But tell people here on the street that we buy bottled water from Fiji and most will still roll their eyes and ask: 'Why?'

Saved by dolphins
Fri 8 Feb 8.00pm BBC Two
and Sat 9 Feb 6.05pm
Since ancient times there have been stories of dolphins rescuing humans at sea. But is there any truth behind them, or are they just myths and legends?
Set against the stunning backdrops of the Red Sea and New Zealand's North Island, the film dramatises two events where dolphins apparently saved humans from shark attacks.
This was amazing the Dolphins circled humans that had been swimming and a shark was going to attack them.
The Dolphins circled the humans for 45 minutes until the shark dissapeared.
Scientist have since discovered that Dolphins have a brain that is capable of feeling empathy and could have therefore understood how the humans where feeling and wanted to protect them.

Using this website I want you to create the 13th Chinese Zodiac animal.
Use paint to chop up some of the original 12 animals to create your new animal.
Post the picture on your blog and write about where it would live and what it would eat.
How do you think it might be adapted to its environment.
This is a Dragullse
It is a very scary creature that eats small animals, fish and grass.
It lives in the caves in Scotland and really enjoys going for a swim in the nearby locks.
Dragullse uses its wings to help it swim, it also uses its horns to spear small animals like cats and dogs :-) and its tail to swosh away flys

To date the pupils have carried out several tasks, mainly based around them finding out about their learning styles, and how they might study to the best of their abilities.
Two pupils have been removed from the project due to poor work ethic within the project and across the subjects that they have been studying. This has had a positive effect on the other students within the project.
Interestingly these are both females, the other female pupils are responding well although they do not seem to use the technology as intuitively as the boys. An example of this is the ipods where given to students over Christmas to get used to using, the boys came back with loads of really cool widgets that they had put onto their ipods.
The pupils English teacher is really impressed with the students work ethic, he commented on how proactive the pupils are being towards their studies and is impressed with the functionality of the ipod for research based activities.
A big part of the project is changing the pupils attitudes towards their education and enabling them to take control of their studying and currently this appears to be happening.
The latest additions to the study skills library is a selection of revision resources. These include English Poetry Revision section, which I am going to get the pupils to add audio pod cast of the poem. To go with the English revision I have put together some science revision resources, based around the exam, the main issue that I have had with this is that I have some excellent resources which use flash, but these will not be able to be viewed by pupils.

This was fascinating, I was amazed that funding for ICT was shared with the budget for school buildings. This made it difficult to justify spending money on ICT if a school as a leaky roof.
I was really impressed with the amount of different ICT equipment that the school was using, although there is a lack of desk top computers the school was managing the use of these effectively.
The school had a range of programs for pupils to access, although pupils did not have emails or access to a VLE (Virtual learning Environment) predominantly due to cost.
Assessment of Pupils ICT skills from KS1 through to KS2 was good.

I should have written this before and I will try now to keep a weekly reflection of the project and the activities that I have set the pupils.
I introduced pupils schoolbuk and how to use it on the ipod. It was a good training session which I used a combination of desk top computers and the ipod (The training took 75 minutes which was less time than I had expected.) The session also included introducing pupils to the project and setting clear expectations of what they would be required to do.
The First Activity that pupils had to do was to find out what coursework they have outstanding and which subjects they have got exams in. Students responded well to this activity and it gave them an opportunity to speak to their teachers to find out exactly where they are within each of their courses.
Teacher that I spoke to also commented on the politeness and maturity that the students approached this task.

Do you know about the life your fresh supermarket chickens led before they reached the table?
Few people know about the conditions suffered by most broiler chickens - those reared for meat.
95% of the chicken eaten in the UK has been intensively farmed.
Farmers are under pressure to produce poultry as quickly and cheaply as possible - which means birds live short lives, in cramped conditions, without ever seeing natural daylight. They commonly develop severe injuries and disabilities, associated with unnaturally fast weight gain and restricted movement.
The plight of egg-laying, battery caged hens has received much attention in recent years, and consumers have responded, greatly reducing the proportion of bought eggs which come from intensive systems. 27% of UK egg production now comes from free range farms. Now it's time to do the same for broiler birds.
