The weather cleared at Heligan and the teachers and children went out and about in the gardens making sound recordings of their findings on their hand held computers.
Then it was over to Newquay on the north Corwall coast to the 'Sands Resort' to download the data and make sense of it. This was to be the second part of a two day residential ICT inspirational session for this mix of primary and secondary teachers.
The WildKey team explained the software and data uploads and Doug Dickinson ( on behalf of Softease) explained the functionality of the Podium application which would be used for the podcasting of the sounds collected.
It was then up to the teachers to get down to the work of collating the data and making thier podcasts. It all went incredibly smoothly with the teachers being more than up to the challenge of working with software they had only just met for the first time.
By 4.30 PM I had podcast for all eight groups wrapped up and in my machine ready to publish to the server. The results of their efforts can be listened to here. If you wish to subscribe to the podcasts in iTunes (or similar) just paste this url into the subscribe section :
