First Post on New Blog October 23, 2006
Posted by Brian in : Uncategorized , trackbackThis is my first post on the new home of Exc-el. Its taken a wee while to get used to the new site but I think I have managed to find my way around now. I havent posted many additions to my blog recently as I have been waiting for the new site to be up and running.
Its an in service day today and I have been busy getting tidied up after last week. When the teaching staff arent here its just amazing how much work can be done without constant interuptions.
Last week I familiarised myself with the schools Canon XM2 digital video camcorder. Some staff in the Science department have expressed an interest in adding a multimedia element to their courses and this is the perfect pice of kit to do it. I did some test filming and acquainted myself with editing software that our computing department has. If all goes well then keep an eye out for Musselburgh Science departments videos on Google video soon.

I also managed to find a site to install the departments Vantage Pro2 weather station. This weather station uses state of the art technology to enable pupils to monitor the weather conditions remotely. It is hoped that the readings from the station will be transmitted to our local primary school cluster so that they can study the weather conditions at Musselburgh Grammar. It may take a little bit of setting up but I am hopeful that after some initial fine tuning it can be left to its own devices. I still have to get mangement and FES approval, but it shouldnt be long before its up, running and churning out readings.
