  • Cathedral Primary Podcast

    Yesterday I spent a pleasant morning with a group of about 20 primary sixes taken from 4 classes from Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral Primary School making a podcast. The children wrote script quickly and I was impressed by the way that managed to write scripts that sounded as if they should be broadcast. They also got a handle on using GarageBand to record voices and add a wee bit of background music. You can have a listen to CCK Episode 1 on the NLC podcast server. If you listen I am sure that the class would love to receive a comment about their work.

  • iPad glow blogging easier with tabs

    It is a lot easier to blog with an iPad on this more recent version of Safari which has tabbed browsing.
    One of the problems with glow blogs is their lack of support for the MetaWeblogAPI so that the many blogging apps on iOS do not work.
    One of the problems blogging with an iOS device is the lack of support for file uploads in web browsers.
    This mean if you want to use an image in a blog post you need to use one previously uploaded to the web. Here I have searched Flickr with A flickr CC search toy which finds safe images that you can legally use and provides an HTML snippet to insert the image with the attribution.
    The new safari with tabs makes it easy to write a post in one tab and search for an image in the other. Remember that Mobile safari does not support the wysiwyg editing of posts you need to switch to the HTML editor.
    Hopefully when we hear of the next ‘version’ of glow it will include the ability to use the MetaWeblogAPI in glow blogs.
