JG is interested in developing audio feedback for students. Downloaded Flashback onto his machine. JG will trial its use and provide feedback.
JG wanted to know how to install YouTube video into Prezi. As it is not possible to download videos directly into a presentation due to copyright issues. To showcase a YouTube video copy the URL for the video and paste into the Prezi presentation. When you click on the link the video plays within Prezi.
Showcased Live@Edu and Office Live. These tools provide collaboration options for staff/student interaction. JG was unsure whether students were aware of these features. It seems they are not. Can provide a mini-presentation for his students if required??? Not possible to create a Live@Edu account for JG as KL no longer has access to the server. Pooh!!! Glad to inform Blog that KL was able to create a Live@edu account for JG.

A number of academic colleagues were interested in Live@edu when he mentioned the product and may be oresent at the session.
