Materials for the IBO Convention in Singapore March 2007

Unfortunately I will not be able to be at the Convention but you will find here the link to a short series of podcasts of some of the ideas that I hoped would come out of the sessions. These podcasts were produced by new software from Softease called Podium, a powerful and very straight forward to use application. A presentation on the nature of podcasting and the use of Podium to prepare and publish podcasts is available here.

Also here is an extended presentation of ideas and links which, I hope, will support ideas on multi modality across the IB range with particular reference to the PYP and the MYP. This presentation would be best viewed on a machine onto which Textease Studio CT has been downloaded so that the examples and activities become interactive in a truely multi modal sense.

Linked here are a number of flash files which tell the full story of multimodality with Textease.

(For best effect remember to press the 'F11' key on your computer keyboard and hide the 'IE' toolbar ... this will reveal the full Textease screen.)
