Click view/ Clip bank or GCSE pods?




Multimedia:
  • Click view is about recording what is on TV.  Make sure you also buy the 24/7 box.  Once the material is recorded centrally (who will run this? You need to make it part of someone's job description), you then need the teachers to integrate the resource in their SOW.  There is a lot of development time needed here.  If your processes of teaching and learning are solid, worth considering.  Only for those with good SOWs and who use TV recordings as a matter of course.  If not, after the initial 3 months, it will not be used as much as the money spent on it warrants it.
  • Clip bank uses tv programmes but they are already integrated within the specs, have exercises, transcripts etc...  It is very teacher friendly and all the resources can be made accessible overnight.  The way forward if you have little or no multimedia content.  Can be integrated into your vLe.
  • GCSE pods are revision podcasts.  They are directed straight at the students.  Again, they can be used overnight.  Quick fix if you don't have anything in-house.
