 Digital and online resources

Create-A-Scape

http://www.createascape.org.uk

A mediascape is composed of sounds, images and video placed outside in your local area.
To create a mediascape, you start with a digital map of your local area. Using free Create-A-Scape software, you can attach digital sounds, pictures and video to places that you choose on the map.
By going outside into the area the map covers with a handheld computer and headphones (and an optional GPS unit), you can hear the sounds and see the pictures and video in the places the author of the mediascape has put them.

How to obtain

Visit the website to download the software. There is a teachers area with more information at www.createascape.org.uk/teachers_area/teachers_area.html

Thinking Space

Thinking Space is a free workshop resource from CABE, Futurelab and Portsmouth City Council. It aims to support people who are thinking about, or currently undertaking, redesign and rebuild projects, including those involved in the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) and Primary Capital Programmes (PCP). The resource goes some way to addressing a need that has been identified by educationalists and other stakeholders, by providing a set of activities, tools and techniques that can be used to facilitate workshop sessions to help people in the visioning and pre-engagement phases of redesign and rebuild projects.
