Recently discovered this video clip of Kseniya Simonova.
“Kseniya Simonova is a 24 years old Ukranian artist. She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and “sand painting” skills to interpret Germany’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII. She won Ukraine’s Got Talent 2009, watched by over 13 million people.”

Here’s a youtube video which demonstrates how to use filezilla for FTP. The site manager feature is useful as it saves you re-typing web addresses and passwords in all the time. However you’d need to remember to update it if you change your password!
I found a piece of software which will convert powerpoint presentations into flash video format.
I’ve not tried it but it could be useful sometime.
I found this new service.
It sounds very interesting. It offers a browser based multi track recording and allows musicians across the world to work on the same session.
I wonder though whether bandwidth will be an issue and whether there is a talk-back facility via the web too.
Some of the major music software companies for some time have been keen to integrate some kind of online collaboration within their software. Ableton Live has Live Share. Protools have an online service which may cost extra. And even Garageband apples bundled recording software has an online collaboration angle.
Then I found this website Kompoz which looks interesting as musicians work and record using the software they own at home and then assuming the musicians you collaborate with have the same software they can add tracks to the recording session. Mixmatchmusic offers a similar but slightly different service. So too does Studiotraxx it’s a global musician for hire site where you pay musicians to work on your tracks.
Professional musicians and studios are always a bit suspicious of such web sites but it’s only a matter of time before a company offers a service like this and the technology exists to allow it to take off …
Maybe with the Indabamusic service and the others that time is coming closer.
I wonder who owns the masters though …

Heather Waddell and myself are in the process of doing Glow training in a number of local Primary schools.
The ‘Introduction to Glow’ session is based around the Glow Portal training guide although the screen-shots have been redone for each school so that the guide reflects the view of Glow that each member of staff sees once they log on.
St Bernadette’s Primary School
Staff have received one ‘Introduction to Glow’ session and have had 3 (1hr) follow up sessions introducing ‘Glow Groups’, each teacher has set up a Glow Group, set the group membership and started the process of putting some information into their glow group. A further training session on Glow Groups is planned before moving on to a series of sessions focusing on Glow Learn.
Claremont Primary
During a recent in-service day, staff received a full morning of Glow training this covered ‘Introduction to Glow’ and an ‘Introduction to Glow Groups’.
Sunnyside Primary School
Staff have received one ‘Introduction to Glow’ training session. A class at Sunnyside is also planning to work with a class from Menstrie Primary school on a ‘Fish go to School’ project via a Glow Group.
Park Primary
In August 2009 we are planning on doing an ‘Introduction to Glow’ training session and a series of ‘Introduction to Glow Groups’ sessions.
Other Work
Using the SCA (Site Content Administrator) log in, work has been started on Strathdevon Primary School, St. Bernadette’s Primary School, Claremont Primary School and Sunnyside Primary School establishment sites.
This work has included customising various areas within each establishment using the ‘Text Editor’ web part and setting up a ‘Glow Groups’ structure, currently though each site is at different stages of development.
Alva Academy have hit number one in the UK Independent Label charts with their ‘Haggis’ CD for Comic Relief.
I picked up the news via a blog post written by Head of Radio, Jeff Zycinski

Well done to Alva Academy …
It isn’t very often that you see a well balanced article about “The Internet”, but I read one today which struck me as being so sensible that it was worthy of comment. Stephen Fry, on the BBC, talking sense, and even though I personally don’t “get” twitter, I pretty much agree with everything he says.
Here are a selection of guides and tutorials on using Audacity
This is a excellent guide with plenty of screenshots and detailed step by step instructions.
