We currently have, running on Auto-pilot, this month's storyboard of video clips (Looping approximately every 18:44 min) The clips are...

1. Windows Live.com (03:02 min)
   -Common Craft was hired by Microsoft to help explain the new Windows Live.com. In their words "We were so excited to work with a local organization on a project that highlights a new direction for the company". Does this have potential for learners and/or practitioners to use as ePDP Portfolios (Personal Development & Planning)? Evidence e.g. audio; video; photographic, written etc., would be 'held' in one place; owned by the learner, viewable by assessors, verifiers, employers etc. Needs some thought/planning but has potential.
2. Podcast Autocue (00:46 min)
   -Turns your monitor into a teleprompter; ideal for MFL, OLAS, Tele-sales training & I'm sure, much more.
3. "Computer Friends" by Sniper Twins. (05:03 min)
   -Using a YouTube Music Video for ICT! Play the clip (or direct learners to this video at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FNXe_3gVz6I) Get them to identify the computer terms used and to explain each of the terms identified! This could be a collaborative task using Google Docs or a Wiki.
4. The Networked Student (05:09 min)
   -With a style borrowed from the Common Craft videos, Wendy Drexler has put together an excellent video depicting what she calls the networked student. This is a terrific description of how networked learning may look for an individual student.
   The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher. It could be used by practitioners to help their colleagues, employers, and learners understand networked learning in the 21st century. It can also be watched at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XwM4ieFOotA.
5. We Didn't Start The Fire (04:44 min)
   -Billy Joel's 1989 hit song, We Didn't Start the Fire, has been used social studies lesson plans for almost 20 years now. The song mentions major world events from 1949 through 1989. This video matches an image to every event mentioned in the song. I'm informed that one way that this song has been used by social studies teachers is by having students conduct research projects on the events mentioned in the song. I'd suggest that now there are great video creation tools like Animoto, learners could create their own video about either the same set of events about important world events in their lifetimes. This clip can also be watched at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jR-A4QFHZBA.

Why not take a look yourself and go to http://TVrscnw.notlong.com and watch the RSC-Northwest's TV channel

RSC-NW TV Channel, will aim...

to provide programmes that will be informative providing ideas and support for the Higher Education, Further Education, Personal and Community Development Learning (ACL), 6th Form College, Work Based Learning and Specialist College Managers & Practitioners etc., that are supported by the RSC here in the Northwest.

...and to produce videos of events and/or training and to show them...

...so that those who are unable to attend face-to-face events, will be able to experience martini learning (any time, any place...)
