While I was checking links yesterday for the posting to my learning technology blog, I was delighted to see that PicLens have added YouTube support for their browser plugin.
This is one of my favourite plugins and I think it's a fantastic teaching tool, especially for those with IWBs (interactive whiteboards) or data projectors in class. (See my Learning technology blog posting for teachging ideas for ELT).
This addition of YouTube support means that we can now get full screen Youtube videos direct to the classroom without any of the distracting text or advertising that lives on the web page, and in the fantastic PicLens 3D immersive interface.
If you want to use PicLens then you can download it for free from here:
Love it

Hi Nik:
Thanks so much for posting about PicLens! We appreciate it!
Here's a trick if you are using a Mac and want to turn even your lecture notes into something viewable on the "3D Wall" interface:
1. Use the Keynote program on the Mac
2. Save your work as images
3. Then use PicLens Publisher (http://piclens.com/lite), which will take all your "images" and create the files needed
That's it!
If you're using PowerPoint for the PC, it's more complicated. We'll be posting details about our blog at blog.cooliris.com shortly.
Kind regards,
Alec & The Cooliris Team
Thanks for the tip Alec and for the great Plugin. I do use a MAC so I'll give it a try when I get a min.
Thanks
Nik
