Maths Educaiton with Digital Tech

Published by Continuum Books "Mathematics Education with Digital Technology" edited by Adrian Oldknow & Carol Knights, Russell has written Chapter 12 "Home & School - Bridging the Gap"  The title draws on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the globe.  It is thought provoking and challenging and covers a diverse range of ICT.  It is hoped that this publication can move the agenda forward and bring ICT to all our students.  ISBN 978-1-4411-8472-6 published by www.Continuumbooks.com   Other contributors include Don Passey, Andy Kemp, Vanessa Pittard and David Wright, the book is highly recommended but it isn't for the faint hearted.

 

 

 

 

Educators can use Live Radio to motivate learners, inspire reluctant writers and improve speaking & listening skills.  You could produce a live show set in time like Centurion Radio, or Pyramid FM, encourage young people to interview  famous people in character of the time.  Use themed learning opportunities to study alongside national celebrations - Citizenship Week, or National Reading Week.  The BBC's News School Report is a perfect example, a national day of celebration for journalism and broadcasting.  Bring the community into school with text-in numbers and live telephone calls, encourage young people to make adverts and sell air-time to local enterprise businesses.

This is Radio 2.0, the next generation of Radio Broadcasting, Internet Radio reaches everywhere there's an Internet connection.  World Class projects that twin schools from across the globe benefit enormously from this technology.  Radio 2.0 is different to Podcasting, this is live, there's no undo button.  The emphasis is on preparation and working well within a team.  These are some of the most important C21st skills that a young person can acquire, the excitement and potential are immeasurable.  Reaching parents with live sports coverage that's phoned in live from the sports fields or away matches will engage and inspire more to participate in sports.

This is the lowest cost digital School Radio system on the market today!

The Anderton Tiger Broadcaster DesktopWe have created the lowest cost digital turnkey product available in the world so that more of you can benefit from the thrill of live broadcasting.  Our unique approach of having the computer do all of the complex mixing has enabled us to offer incredible functionality at this amazing low cost.  No other School Radio provider has attempted this.  Without exception, everyone else prefers to deliver commercially available software.  With us, you start with a system that has been created from the ground up for inexperienced broadcasters.  The Desktop can be easily upgraded as your capability and resources permit, you can build your system up into a brilliant fully specified Dual Studio School Radio Station without compromising your previous investment.  Flight cases can be purchased separately saving you cost if you don't need to regularly move your Broadcaster Desktop at first.

We've been building Radio Stations since 2009 and our customers have experienced an incredibly high level of reliability with our own specialised Industrial PC and Digital Sound Control Centre.  Unlike anyone else we boot from a solid state hard drive (SSD) into Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the "top spec" version of Windows 7 and is designed for this sort of HD.  Don't settle for anything less.  Our system is exceptionally quick and will have your system up and running in a few seconds.  The Twin Disk RAID 1 500GB Hard Disk Array will ensure your jingles and music files remain backed up at all times and stored on two independent drives.  Not one of our existing customers has lost a file through a single hard disk failure.  The Wide Touch Screen is a joy to work with, it has increased screen real-estate that we have been able to use to bring more functionality at a lower cost.  The ON AIR and MIC LIVE lights are shown on-screen, an external dual illuminated sign is available as a cost option and is available as standard with a Studio Guest Pack.  Every possible upgrade path has been considered so we can provide you with an effective way of growing your system when resources permit.

The M-Audio AC30 Desktop Monitor Speakers are small and surprisingly powerful rated at 15w each.  As you would expect with any sophisticated broadcasting solution, these speakers are automatically muted when a microphone channel is opened.  Two pairs of the XPX2000 DJ Headphones are included as standard, they are chunky, sound amazing and have an excellent high definition bass response.  As all of the mixing is done in a true digital state, the Behringer Flying Fader desk can be remotely controlled by our software, allowing our unique One Touch Autofade to assist young or inexperienced broadcasters to have a great live show.
