A piece of useful software for Mac-using teachers 15 Oct 2007 I gave a lecture yesterday on animal minds, and in the course of it tried to show some YouTube videos in Keynote by linking to the pages (tool using crows, by the way, and the excerpt from Life of Birds by Attenborough on Japanese crows using stop lights to get nuts they dropped under car tyres, very cool. The students loved it). Great technical problems. Today (of course, a day late!) I came across TubeTV which downloads the Flash videos for embedding in Keynote directly. Works, is free and is very useful for when you don’t have enough material for the entire lecture. Highly recommended (as, of course, is the new Keynote from Apple: I have recovered Powerpoint presentations munged by PPT by opening them in Keynote, and it is a much better interface).

So if you never hear from me… Read More
