I will be presenting four 2 hour Workshops this week: Washington Fire Station on Monday 29th October at 10:00 and 12:30 Mile House, Chester-le-Street on Thursday 1 November at 10:00 and 12:30. Everybody is welcome and I look forward to meeting some new colleagues and some I've met before. You will be looking at: • Data Projectors.

Powerful collaboration and classroom assessment software that allows you to create your first interactive lesson in under 5 minutes. Interactive whiteboard software that’s built for any classroom technology and any teaching style. MimioStudio software allows educators to create.

• PowerPoint. • Portable Electronic Whiteboards (Mimio). • Digital Cameras. • Mobile Phones • Blogs - like this one- how to start your own Blog. • Web Quizzes, Resources and materials. • Video Cameras. • TV and Video/DVD Players.

I hope to see you all at one of these workshops. If you're lucky and one of the first 10 to enrol for your workshop you might even get paid for attending. I am delighted to report that I have been successful in a bid to NIACE for more equipment to enable tutors to embed e-learning into their provision. Following a successful bid to WEA National Office the NE region now have portable electronic whiteboards for WEA tutors to use during the delivery of their provision to enhance the learning experience for tutor and student alike. Therefore there are two short training sessions on How to: • Use data projectors and laptops • Use PowerPoint • Use portable electronic whiteboards The training sessions will run from 1000hrs to 1200hrs and 1230hrs to 1430hrs on Monday 25th June 07 at the Washington Community Fire Station, Glover Industrial Estate, Washington, Tyne and Wear, NE37 3AG, telephone 0191 444 1850. The training is free but WEA are unable to pay for you to attend or provide you with travel expenses.

It is hoped that the value of the training will be suffice Thereafter the equipment can be obtained via your Course Organisers I hope you make the training! I am pleased to announce that I, on behalf of the WEA NE, have been successful in their bid for four portable electronic whiteboards for the region and a static whiteboard with data projector for the classroom in Jesmond.

All in all, I’d say that video encoding is a science in and of itself, and depending on your needs, or interests for that matter, you may have to do a bit of studying. This can yield good quality regardless of the video — the bandwidth will simply pump up if video complexity requires it — and can be much faster to encode due to not needing two or more encoding passes, but it can never achieve the efficiency of the targeted variable bitrate.

These, along with the data projectors and laptops, will be/are available from the course organisers in each sub region on a 'first come, first served' basis I intend, once I have received them from Regional Office to roll out a series of 2hr training events across the region on how to use them. The venues will be: 1. Bennett House, Darlington 2.

Miners Hall, Durham City 3. Washington Fire House, Washington 4.

RO, Jesmond Mimio Whiteboard Capture System is a portable interactive technology which converts regular whiteboards to interactive - anywhere The key to the mimio system is the portable mimio Xi capture bar. Just 220mm long when folded and weighing less than half a kilo, mimio attaches to any regular dry wipe whiteboard, or even a flipchart easel. Simply connect to your PC and you're ready! Everything you write or draw (using regular marker pens in the mimio stylus) is captured and saved in the all-new mimio Studio software, whilst (for interactive use) add a data projector and use the mimio stylus to control projected applications or the virtual whiteboard. Mimio Studio's powerful new interactive resources provide a level of interactive functionality and features previously only found on conventional 'fixed' whiteboards. Now you can go to a venue and use a regular whiteboard to give a fully interactive lesson or presentation Ways to use Mimio Xi With a data projector: using a touch-screen stylus, you control projected material and interactive content directly from the whiteboard Without a projector: capture whiteboard notes, review, print, email them, share them via video conferencing The 'no PC' option: mimio's on-board memory stores up to ten hours of whiteboard notes and activity for download later More for you at the training day! Innovative Unaccredited ICT Provision With the reduction of funding from PWB to PWA it has become prohibitive for WEA NE to run accredited provision.
