The eduBuzz Limesurvey system is now running the latest software version, v1.91.
You can find out about the new features in this version over on the Limesurvey web site. It also fixes some bugs in earlier versions.
Although known mainly for its use in surveying P6 and S2 students each year, this is a powerful tool available to staff and students for any other schools or learning survey purposes.
There’s a new internet safety game for 8 – 10 year olds called ‘Star Riders’ from the people at Thinkuknow.
This interactive game requires the user to answer questions about internet safety to increase the amount of time they have to collect stars and avoid nasty icons. There’s a leader board to encourage users to improve. The questions users are asked will be changed every few months to reflect new themes.
You can access the game at www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/star-rider/, and it’s currently also featured in the right-hand sidebar of the eduBuzz.org home page.
Have a look here if you need a reminder on how to upload a video to You Tube. You can then use the link in a post on your website.
