Preparation for the inaugural NTLS07 workshop. Our IAD network connection is way too slow to have our team all logged in merrily interacting with Georgina tomorrow. So what Li Ting and I have decided is to have just one connected laptop projected onto the wall so we can at least get the flavour of the platform. And Li Ting has sent off the request for a faster connection through Internode, that'll be up in about 10 days so we'll be humming from there. And in time for the next scheduled workshop.
I've just burnt several CD's for the team to take away tomorrow from the workshop.
I'm calling them 'kits', "NTLS07 kit 1" has rolled off the press and we'll see how it goes.
[1] 'ABC'; mp3 and pdf files to demo how mp3 'podtours' are done by Aunty.
[2] ACAP; I've OCR'd the ACAP handout into text and dumped it into a website, members can thus quickly move about in it as they start building up their chosen ACAP research topics.
[3] Ara_Irititja; Great Flash driven Indigenous resource. Google it for more info.
[4] ARED: Great easy to use tool to build up scorm compliant Flash files. Will run an intro on it at workshop #2.
[5]Audio Visual; Eye, ear and text candy; gif, mp4, mp3, pdf etc
[6] Irfanview; Image editor team tool of choice, freeware [even for edu orgs], small, clean and mean. Ripper program.
[7] PPT; Demo on how to use 'pack and go'; so team members can bring back research material embedded into their presentations that plays once it's away from their personal computers.
note; If you use Irfanview over your student network; Run each install once to alter an image and set it to output .jpg files, then lock the network down. Otherwise the default settings spit out bitmaps by default, forever, frustrating when you're working mainly with jpg's, and mind numbing if you aint got the permissions to change it!
