Peacock, first post via the new version of sunlit and possibly the last butterfly photos of the year.
In this film, writer Kate Clanchy uses Edip Cansever's poem 'The Table', translated by Richard Tillinghast, to inspire pupils to create their own poems. The activity works well with both native speakers of English and pupils who have recently learnt English.
Listened to @KateClanchy1‘s Poetry activities for schools: The Table by Edip Cansever ripped from YouTube. Which is great. Kate Clanchy uses poem ‘The Table’ to inspire pupils to create their own poems. Loved the poem and read to my class this morning.
I found the Castro Podcast Player sideload function rips youtube to audio, saves that to a m4a in your iCloud/Castro folder and then you can then add it to your Queue. A nice alternative to huffduff-video.
Hi Doug,
Like Adam, I welcome the random and change is always good. Been enjoying the Open Thinkering of late too.
Slow Fast Slow app
Slow Fast Slow is a nice app for changing speed of videos on iOS. I discovered it via a nice tutorial by
Andrew Brooks Rework Time – Playing with time using the Slow Fast Slow App with slow-motion video. I think my class might enjoy this especially if the sandpit is still full of water.

#mbaug Day 30 discovery. I always make interesting discoveries when I look down. I think this one is a knot grass moth.
Most has gone from the web, best impact was back in 2005! Some on the wayback machine
A few details in this 2013 video:
apologies for quality.
My class, different school, blog poetry including some written in Teams during lockdown
Brilliant! Probably try this next week (the second part).
@livedtime #tds1886 a lovely film. The problem of trying to be still made visible.
Video Grid
I saw some amazing work by @AndrewPBrooks and started watching some of his tutorials eg. Rework Time- YouTube. I loved the grids he made of his videos, and was reminded of QuickTime Pro. Give it a quick run. I’ll be very sad to see QuickTime pro go when I move to 64 bit.
