Innovation in Education
Working with Alexandra High School we have been creating some pieces of music in GarageBand which are inspired by their Klimpt style patterns. Once this is done the then the music produced is swapped between students and now new artwork is created using Photoshop which is now being inspired by the freshly created music and other students work.
You may have heard the term Web 2.0 and wondered what on Earth it is. Well Web 2.0 is all about the shift from being a read only consumer driven web to one where we can contribute and publish as well as consume. Web 2.0 is not just one thing. Its not something you install on your computer, nor will it actually make the Internet work quicker. What Web 2.0 is though is a series of websites which allow you to easily publish to the Internet everything from text to images to sounds and even video. We can now be creators of content and share our work with people around the world. These technologies can often be quite social, enabling us not only to publish work but to get feedback from other people who have experienced our work.Well where are these technologies and how do I use them and importantly how much are they going to cost me? To start at the last part of the question, most of these are free. Where there is a cost it is usually quite cheap for the amateur.
OK lets get started.
I have been working on a brand new layout for the web-site, based on an updated information architecture. This is for several reasons, but mainly for when we completely change over to the new hosting platform. Also, it is something good to be able to say to people in September - ‘have you seen our new web-site?’
