Silver Bells and Golden Spurs


Silver Bells and Golden Spurs is a poem brought to life as a movie in Second Life. The attention to detail such as set designs and camera angles is very impressive. The voice-syncing isn't perfect but it's not bad. I found this movie really inspiring as we could possibly use this format to create interactive stories for the Children With Special Needs - Difficult Situations series. Thanks to Becky F and Mark P for sending me the link.

Floorplanner


I wanted to share a great bit of software that was sent to me by Nick and Liz. Floorplanner is free for personal use and allows you to plan rooms and even your garden through accurately plotting your space, adding doors, windows and power sockets, then choosing your flooring - carpet, wood, etc... You can then drag in furniture, resizing it and colouring it to suit your scheme.
Brilliant fun ...and really useful!
