FETC 2008: Multimedia, presentation, and video tools

From eSchool News staff reports

RM demonstrated its Podium podcasting solution, a PC-based application designed for the education market. The software allows teachers and students of any age to create, edit, and publish podcasts—all from the same simple interface. Besides enabling students to demonstrate what they’ve learned and develop their creativity by using audio to express themselves, teachers can use Podium to communicate with parents regularly by posting class or school updates on the web. They also can publish lesson guides to help students who might have missed sessions through absence or who simply need reinforcement when completing homework assignments. Podium’s scripting tool, which allows students to assign parts of their podcast to different members of the group, helps facilitate group projects. For example, if students are recording a passage from Shakespeare as one of their podcasting episodes, they are able to color-code the text on screen for different characters, so each person knows when it’s his or her turn to speak.

Thomas C. Miller, Superintendent

News Release Friday, February 8, 2007

Students in the eighth through 12th grades in the Brandon School District are the first in the United States to be using a new curriculum technology package that teachers are calling “top quality”. The RM Easiteach Secondary Content Pack is designed to complement the curriculum already in place, according to the District Director of Technology, Paul Spoor.

Spoor says the new system contains pre-constructed lessons that interact with the advanced technology already in classrooms, giving students a new tool to help them better understand and comprehend their lessons. It is designed to supplement the lessons already being taught. RM Easiteach aligns with the federal and State of Michigan standards and is fully modifiable to meet district curriculum changes and needs.

The system was designed by RM Education, a global leader in education technology, which has a headquarters in Hyannis, Massachusetts, and is distributing the RM Easiteach Package to thousand of districts across the United States. Brandon School District is the first in the country to implement the new RM Easiteach Secondary Content Pack. The program has been in development for several years, and Spoor says the District’s teachers are excited by the latest addition to their collection of teaching tools.

Superintendent Thomas Miller says this is another example of how the Brandon School District is always improving the academic opportunities for District students.

RM Easiteach Secondary Content Pack

The highly anticipated RM Easiteach Secondary Content Pack was released at TCEA to very good reviews. More than $2m of development has gone into the lastest RM Content pack and this is very visible in the High Quality Flash Lessons and Activities. The pack focuses on teaching concepts that are difficult to teach without the use of interactive technologies in Math, ELA and Science.

The new Science lessons and activities have been designed to help teach difficult concepts or to create virtual experiments such as photosynthesis. The Math activities have been developed from the new RM Math Framework Edition Digital Curriculum and are fully aligned and correlated to all state standards. The ELA content has been produced in association with leading ELA teachers in the US and again use high quality flash lessons to motivate and engage students.

RM Easiteach Secondary Content pack requires RM Easiteach 3.3 or then newly released 3.4.

It is priced at $1000 per school site licence until 31st March for early adopters.

RM Mobile One ClassBook at TCEA

The RM Mobile One ClassBook made it debut at TCEA and attracted great attention from the demonstration pictured. For the 3 days of the show, water continually flowed onto the keyboard to demonstrate how RM has taken on the wishes of Instructional Technology Directors and produced a notebook designed purely for the classroom. In between water and drop tests (see video on main www.rmeducation.com website) many districts were also impressed with 4 hour battery life and toughened screen.
