Animation
Two main types:
Wallace and Gromit
Computer generated
Lots of free animation software
- some specially designed for schools
Just google 'free animation software for schools'
Need to manage expectations!
Use archive photo as background
Add music afterwards
![Page 11: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Design /desktop publishing
Example (V&A):
visitor lent camera
Goes round galleries and takes photo of object
Back at base, photo taken of visitor
Combine the two images to produce printable
poster
Lots of possibilities - adapt appropriate to
your situation
![Page 12: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Film/ video sessions
Example (LMWS) (see sheets)
define clear achievable appropriate task
work in specific area of gallery
editing afterwards not needed - edit as you shoot
great way of getting parents and others to see moving images of your site
Lots of possibilities - adapt appropriate to your situation

=============================================
Ideas surgery: 5 mins thinking time, then plenary review
Work in pairs / threes. Choose one or more ideas using digital technology to save money and / or generate income in your own organisation(s).
Think ‘elevator pitch’ not ‘feasibility study’!
Keep this light – don’t fret over the figures. If unsure whether something will work ‘technologically’, assume it will.
=============================================
Our idea: [sessions]
Quick description / how it works (so you can explain to others):
How might it save / generate money? (note costs etc where known)
![Page 14: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Social media
Plenty of advice out there on this.
Key points:
What are you trying to achieve?
How much time do you have to spend on this, really?
What are the criteria for success? (SMART)
Consistency of tone - but something different from the corporate line
![Page 16: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

How can we get a sense of who our visitors are and how they react to what we offer?
How do we gather data to help us improve what we do?
How do we measure success from the user's point of view, and / or against our own objectives and constraints?
For example, how justify investment (or lack of it) in social networks etc?

Good overview
Step by step approach
Lots of sources of information:
Culture 24 Let’s Get Real http://weareculture24.org.uk/projects/action-research/
![Page 25: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Create your own website / online resources
Do you have difficulty updating 'your own' web pages?
Would you like to try out an idea for a different website / online resource, but it seems too expensive, time consuming, out of your control etc?
Just try it out. Very quickly you can end up with
prototypes (free, design free)
final versions (some design needed, £500?)
![Page 26: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Wordpress.com vs Wordpress.org
Wordpress.com is particularly quick to get going – great for developing and trialling resources, or just playing around with ideas
Wordpress.org needs installation and a little maintenance, but offers a stable website solution
![Page 27: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Making websites - CMSs
http://wordpress.com - free website creation service (pay extra for features like own domain name etc). All hosting and upgrading etc is done for you
![Page 28: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Making websites - CMSs
http://wordpress.org - free website creation service – like .com except you need your own webspace and you are responsible for updating, hosting costs, etc
![Page 29: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Getting your content online - others
Google maps, TripAdvisor, HistoryPin etc
YouTube, Vimeo, podcasting
Social media: Facebook, Twitter, etc
Google website search, Google Analytics
EventBrite or Amiando for event booking
![Page 31: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Video for the web
Reasons to use it
• Moving images have much more impact, tend to attract more interest
• Demonstrate evidence of engagement with school groups / other learners
• Good medium for explaining things, stimulating discussion etc
![Page 32: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Video for the web
Equipment, technical etc
• Video camera – choose something simple without too many controls (RIP Kodak Zi8 ...)
• Use an external microphone – sound quality is biggest factor in overall quality.
• Tripod probably a good idea
• Think about lighting, background noise etc
![Page 33: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Video for the web
Storyboarding
• Plan for a short video (for the web, for schools, for general interest)
• You can always add more clips, and present them as ‘chapters’ in a sequence
• Imagine shooting it and play it back in your mind – then revise the storyboard
![Page 34: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Video for the web
Editing
• Most time consuming element! Many hours, for short clips, until more experienced.
• Free programs fine – iMovie (Mac), MovieMaker (Windows), and search online
• ‘cutaways’ is main additional feature you might need – Adobe Premiere Elements?
![Page 35: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Video for the web
Sharing and uploading
• YouTube, Vimeo etc – these handle all the format conversion for you and provide streaming service
• Upload file to website – can be good (YouTube blocked in some schools) but more technical fiddling required.
![Page 36: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

These are the first
things to provide, and
do not require high
levels of IT expertise or
investment
Video can be done quite easily
The others will mean investment of
money and /or expert time
This is good news. Maybe creating online learning
resources is not so difficult?

Our idea: [promotion/evaluation etc]

![Page 40: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Make a short film quickly for free
One approach:
Talk to camera or film around gallery / site
Open video in editing software (free or low
cost)
Add in archive images, music, titles etc
![Page 41: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Make a short film quickly for free
Quicker approach
Lower production values
Use free screencasting software
Jing
Get images,music ready
Start recording the screen (and mic) and do it 'live'. Can pause record to avoid awkward transitions.
![Page 42: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Developing a learning resource: iterative review
your content curriculum (find a match)
Ch
eck
Does it match your audience’s specific needs?
If so TEST - and then amend
Learning activities Learning outcomes
(find a match)
![Page 43: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reflection
How can you create effective learning resources on a limited budget?
What are the quick wins for teachers, in online provision?
How do you build a case for investing in the development of online resources?
![Page 44: Digital technology to generate save money gem conf cambridge 2014 reduced for uploading](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538ae734a795979798b47b7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

‘What have museums ever done for us?’
The main value added for teachers working online is
selection of suitable material
with learning activities and outcomes in mind
Focus resources on editorial, evaluation and testing
rather than technical functionality
