I have been on this quest to offer a solution to teachers that would enable them to create a talking book. I had a few criteria though.

• You had to be able to use free tools to do it.
• It couldn’t be something that teachers thought was too difficult and not worth the effort
• It had to play on the iPad
• It had to play on other devices as well, including Windows
• As the book was read, words would highlight. (Don’t get too excited by this – it is not there yet, but more on that later)
• I also wanted teachers to be able to share the books with students and other teachers who had iPads without going through iTunes

I need to tell you that this has been a long time coming and I feel that out of our teaching community, about 90% would be able to create an eBook without audio after about ten minutes guidance (ie reading this blog entry) and of that group, half would be willing to have a go at adding audio and video to their book.

Just a short post to let you know about a great resource I found at manfrotto's website. For those who don't know, manfrotto is a brand of tripod used for cameras, both still and motion. They are, some would say the industry standard in tripods.

They have put together a wonderful resource to help improve your photography. Whether you are a happy snapper of teaching photography, this website will have something for you.

 GOYDER’S DAY

A re-enactment to commemorate the arrival of the Surveyor General G.W. Goyder in Darwin on 5th February 1869.

Surveyor General George Woodroffe Goyder arrived in Port Darwin on the 5th February 1869. His ship, Moonta, dropped anchor in the harbour that afternoon and Goyder, with a small select party of men, rowed ashore to explore the land. The Northern Territory Survey Expedition had arrived in the Top End.
