iMovie tip > won't recognise camera

A good tip from Stuart Hale at Apple:

Before importing movie footage into iMovie, it is a great idea to check
that the camera is turned on and plugged in BEFORE starting iMovie up.
That way iMovie has more chance of recognising the camera is plugged in!

thanks Stuart!

Class email accounts

All class email accounts can now email outside email addresses. This is
useful for student research. I would suggest that teachers have the rule
in their class that whenever a child is emailing outside of the school, or
to an adult, that they must CC the email to them so you are aware.

Re: Emailing

You just put them into your contacts, or paste it into the address field.

Preparing iMovies for the web

I hope you are having a great holiday! Here is the link about preparing imovies for your class websites:

How to email to a blog

Check out this URL for instructions on emailing to a blog. This is a useful way to blog because you don't have to log in every time. It does put the post up as a draft however, so after a few have been done you need to go up online and publish them.

Learning about SPAM

This web page is worth reading up on:

Click here for ideas about spam...

All Tech Wizards need to know how to deal with spam and build this into their learning for being ethical and safe when learning in online environments.

Re: iWeb tutorials

Yes, Tech Wizards may not get much out of many of the movies, BUT I bet you they will help others around the school!

You are doing a wonderful job.

Re: Instructions to get signature on messages

Watch what happens if you hold down the Command (apple) key, shift and
press the number 4.

Then drag to select a new region on the screen.
A file will be created on your desktop, probably called Picture1.pdf
Open then copy-paste this into an email!

Try exploring the Help menu in the Finder

I just discovered a blog which will be really helpful when learning iWeb. It is located off the .Mac website.

Can I learn how to work the sound systym.

Today at Tech Wizards meeting we looked at these things:

1. All Tech Wizards need to contribute at least 3 posts to the Tech Wizards blog about their ideas or things they want to learn. This is due by Wednesday week 10 of term 1.

2. Start designing your own Tech Wizards business card. Think about what sorts of information you need to include on this (eg. email address, name, etc.). These are due week 1 of Term 2. You can use any programme you like for this, for example: Word, AppleWorks, Photoshop

Kim and Rob will run sessions when we meet, but we also want you to run some of the training sessions!

I hope Tech Wizards is cool and I get in.

Can I please learn how to work the data projector and plug it in?

I'd love for Tech Wizards to share new skills with kids during lunch times and treat this as a teaching situation where new skills, possibilities and ideas are celebrated and shared. They could use the village for this.

What do you all think of that idea? I guess we'd need to think up a menu of the sorts of things that you could share.
