Oh no!

Just a quick thought...my blog is fast becoming 'music' orientated!  Oh well, just sharing the love!  :)

WOW!

OK, I've been at YouTube...again!  Here's another clip and done in a similar style to...'Which style of video capture?'...lol...here is a clue...go back to recent posts :)

Hope your Christmas day was a good one!

New Toy!

Just got a new cable (with 5 connections) for my iPod. Why? I want to play with my apps on the tv, and eventually on my IWB. So far...can see YouTube clips (almost!), photos...not a prob. Apps??? Nada. Will play with laptop tonight. Ah well, back to the drawing board. It might be apple tv after all :)

Mimio-o-o-o! :)

Re-learning how to use the mimio again! Slow process!

;l Ipad (ipod) + Apple TV + TV .....wot tha???

Well...I have just been back to VLN ( VLN School ) and have been reading about using ipods/ipads in the classroom, about the apps and then....I find that you can use your ipod touch/ipads via streaming (so not sure if that's the right word but I'm sure you'll get the picture while I ramble along) through a tv (well I was more interested in streaming it wirelessly through the IWB).

WHOA!!!  I've been thinking for a while, "Wouldn't it be cool if I (well the children) could play with the apps through the IWB?"  We could have sharing time about the apps that have been popular with the kids and why, which apps I would prefer children play with and why, play spelling/maths/reading games, the list is endless!  And then setting up groups of ipods/ipads to have challenges (OK, so where am I going to get more of these toys???  LOL).

Reading on, I find out about 'apple tv', so thinking I'm looking for a tv, I actually find a small box that acts like the 'go-between', between ipod-ipad/tv (I'm hoping IWB too, can't see why not!). $99 for the apple tv. 

Apple TV


The VLN-ers go on talking about HDMI to VGA converters....I was then a little confused! 

Anyway, when I find out more, I'll be back!  :)

Pondering

Just sitting here pondering about the little things... Actually a 'What If?'. What if we didn't have the little techno toys we have today, that if tomorrow they just didn't work anymore, just stopped working? How many of us would be affected?
