Clickview has completely opened up the way in which video resources are used at Stowe. Staff and pupils can access videos from any computer on our network. Lesson time is saved by getting students to watch videos in their own time and staff can move around classrooms without having to worry about the availability of audiovisual equipment or the whereabouts of any particular video.
Being able to put web-links to network stored videos greatly enhances the educational experience. It fits in perfectly with our goal of using streaming video and audio to enrich the way in which pupils can “read” around their subjects.
We use our Intranet to deliver recommended book lists and enrichment tasks. These can now include links to the video and audio resources themselves. Clickview also fits in perfectly with Oliver, our library system, which facilitates links to catalogued resources.
The podcast manager in Clickview opens up so many possibilities. Teachers now longer have the barrier of working out the logistics of how to distribute mp3 and mp4 files. I-pods and mp3 players are now a valuable educational tool rather than just a distraction.
It is now easier to manage departmental resources that are linked to videos. All staff and pupils can access notes and worksheets without having to run to the photocopier or deal with a last minute jam.
I have found the support from Clickview staff amazing. They don’t just want to sell you the product but do everything they can to help you to get the most from it. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic – they really know their stuff!
