February 28th saw an Animation workshop from Harpfield Primary school. Children and teachers worked alongside CLC staff to produce unique animations in the one day session.
The models were made from paper, foam and pipecleaners. A range of films were produced and distributed to the school.
February 22nd saw Teachers from 7 local schools visit the centre to learn basic Stop Motion Animation skils.
Each group of teachers produced a set of models and sets, which were then filmed and edited using iStopMotion and iMovie.
Jenny Hulme and Phil Gregory delivered the training session which was supported by Adam Churton.
A DVD was created to showcase the finished films and is available from the CLC.
The City Learning Centre website now allows Staff members to share documents quickly and easily.
Staff need to simply log in and then proceed to upload their shareable documents straight into our document repository on the website.
This should enable the near instant sharing of files if email isn’t available to you.
Following their recent trip to Etruria Industrial Museum, Weston Coyney Junior School, and Longton high CLC have been working together to produce a website about their visit. Lynne Cauley of The Museum, working with Tom Pinecoffin of the Stoke-on-Trent Museums service came up to assist Phil with the project.
Whilst on their trip the students took photographs and video footage to add to their website. Tom and Phil created a template for the students to work on and created a generic user area from where all the students could access photos and add text to to the template.
The class were broken down into groups, each to create a specific section of the site. By midday the site was looking splendid. All the groups had written content and added images using
Macromedia Dreamweaver, which is a complex web building tool.
Tom said that he was impressed that the students had learned such a complex tool in such a short time. Phil has created a CD with the website on and there is also a DVD of the trip held at Weston Coyney Junior School.
The new TV Studio at Longton High CLC is nearing completion. Workers from Confetti Studio, Nottingham have been working long hours to transform CLC 8 into a state of the art Mini TV studio.
The flooring has been laid, the partition wall, door and screen window are in place. Now the engineers are adding the hardware and wiring the room. Watch this space for more news over the next 24 hours.
Working with members of the City Councils Fitness Education Team, Phil, our Media Technologist is putting together a 10 minute Video.
