MathsMeet

The MathsMeet unconference was held on Thursday night at the CLC and was a great success.  Organised by and for maths teachers throughout the region, it was streamed live from the TV Studio to the world.

MathsMeet was an event much in the vein of the popular TeachMeet sessions; around 30 teachers from Sheffield, Lincolnshire and Doncaster signed up at a collaborative web site agreeing to prepare a 5 minute presentation.  A further 10 viewers watched live from the Isle of man to the United States, linking socially to the event using Twitter.

Watch this space for interviews of individuals involved in presenting their tips, tools and ideas.  Also, we will edit the live footage into bitesized chunks – all to be available on the MathsMeet web site: http://mathsmeet.yolasite.com.

The CLC is proud to support and facilitate these events and look forward to the next challenge!

Here is one micro-interview of teacher Oliver Offord, from Balby Car:

Online Guide for Chroma keying in the Studio

At the CLC we do quite a bit of Chroma key or green screen filming. The movie above explains the basics of what it is (with a few examples) and is part of an intensive step by step guide we put together for users of the Tv studio.

Have a look through the instruction guide here.

The intention is that they can follow the photos and text and set up and use the studio themselves for simple chroma projects. Being online rather than printed, there is the facility for feedback in terms of the clarity of instructions and generally from the user community. The guide is specific to our set up and equipment though…
