I note that video conferencing is mentioned in the article, but not video-bridging yet, so there is scope for devlopment! Especially when Marina has a published article as we can then refer to a peer reviewed journal, something that Wikipedia asks for in its articles. markus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think its in http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Greece or shorter http://videobridge.at/Greece Do you have images somewhere online that we can show here? That would be great! --------------- concerning ideas: Maybe you should also get in touch with these guys - I discovered them today: Teachers Without Borders "...... enables teachers to collaborate in order to address pressing community development needs; supports free and open educational resources; empowers the voices of innovative and compassionate teachers and community leaders; and nurtures partnerships from the village to the government. " http://teacherswithoutborders.org/pages/who-we-are http://www.teacherswithoutborders.org/pages/what-we-do They do not yet have a videobridge program in place but it might be most logical for them to look into the prospects of VideoBridging! I really think thats the kind of parnership we need to make videobridging a success. ----- Thank you for your work and great enthusiasm! you are a guiding light for all of us !!! Sorry that I am a little bit slow from here. As some of you know I have been twice at the hospital with heart problems at the beginning and end of February, but I hope and feel that I am getting better. Have not been able to finish or even start the final report yet.

So that people can log on tomorrow and take part where ever they are. Its open to anyone anywhere in Europe and people can write in whatever language they like. Although of course I can only in a few (suomi, english, francaise and deutsch). It would be good if you log on at some point in the day and say hi or how its going. It allows those to be involved that maybe did not organize any special event, buit want to take part anyway. I hope we can use it to develop a EUROQUIZION - rather like the EUROVISION. But that is for the future. If anyone feels like translating it go ahead! But more useful is perhaps translating the wikipedia article on backchannels. Ciaokka!

It all remains available to "watch again" at http://destinations.uk.com/gold/broadcast/ - the walk along Skinningrove Jetty is there to be viewed. I have some ideas for improvement when we do it again. Yes we WILL do it again. Unfortunately some of the planned participation from Europe did not happen for various reasons but I caught a message from Julija just in time and Lithuania is included. We have some more events coming up in the Summer that we could involve Europe in so let me know if you're interested. I'm thinking particularly cultural exchanges. With more time to plan things can be better and I'd do things differently next time. FWIW, I'm sceptical of the "back channel" - I'd like to see all activity out front were everyone can see and participate. To better organise these events I'll probably set up specific email lists for each one. At present the site shows 1930 visitors, yesterday it showed1600 so folks are still visiting - I attach a stats map showing where they came from Cheers, Steve T Steve Thompson Community Media Manager Institute of Digital Innovation Teesside University M - 07795 826953 E - s.d.thompson at tees.ac.uk W - www.steve-thompson.org.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They wanted an Internet Radio project. My past experience with Schools Podcasts is that they tend to peter out through lack of staff time and interest. So, with this in mind I proposed a "Podcast RSL". Just four programmes in a week of broadcasting in good old RSL style. This can't fail (can it?) because it is designed to come to an end. Over the past couple of months the children have worked with musician Phil Caffrey on songs for the broadcasts and with myself on programme production. I've also facilitated staff and provided support materials. The idea is simple: the school has a programme of "Statements to Live By" and so 4 statements have been chosen to become the theme of each show with songs and interviews on that theme. So: on Monday 15th March there will be a pilot program at 2pm on www.wordfm.co.uk There will be four more shows each going out at 2pm throughtout the rest of the week: Tuesday: "I listen to what you say, I show that I am listening to you. Wednesday: "I cooperate with others in work and play" Thursday: "I try to use words to make the world a better place" Friday: "I try to appreciate the world around me" Please log on and leave a comment to encourage the kids. They've done really well and taken a journey that we all agree has seen them grow in confidence. Some of the children said they would be sorry to see the project end and would love to do more. They may well do just that perhaps at the end of their year. I also suggested that there were community radio projects that would love to have them particpating when they leave school. Broadcasters of tomorrow! On a technical note, I've kept it really simple and free.
