ClickView

During 2006 it was reported that 20% of the student network traffic was ClickView. This was great news as we have between 1200 and 1500 programs available for use. However most of the use was rather traditional, ie students watching an entire program either in tandem or individually with headphones.

We now want to encourage students and particularly staff to extend their use, therefore we recommend that you access the interactive tutorials for teachers on the ClickView website at http://www.clickview.com.au/support/flash_tutorial_teachers.php You will need speakers or headphones to hear the voice over. Headphones can be borrowed from the library as a special request.

Teachers who are unfamiliar with the program should watch the first 3 tutorials first:

1) Introduction to ClickView Player

2)
Playing a Video

3)
Using Resources

Once you are used to using the system, we encourage you to create your own lessons. Only holdup to this is that you have to be on the Student network to do this. View the tutorial:

4) Creating a Lesson

One area that only a few of our students are using is the option of taking ClickView videos home to view. They would need a USB drive with 200 Mb free if program is half an hour long or 400Mb for each hour show. You can use this option to load programs onto your laptops etc. Have a look at the following tutorials.

5) Using School Bag:

a) Taking a Lesson home

b) Opening School Bag at home

Have you ever thought of putting ClickView clips into your Powerpoint shows or even into Word? If you'd like to try this, then have a look at the tutorial about:

6) Exporting a video clip

a)
Inserting the clip into PowerPoint

b) Inserting the clip into Word

Finally did you realize that you could search the ClickView library for your specific needs? Watch the tutorial:

7) Searching the Library

Something to get excited about is the possibility of getting someone to come and do a quick PD on the advanced use of the system. If you would like us to get someone down to Mandurah, possibly during a Staff meeting, please write a comment to this post!!!!
