Margrove Park gets Down……loading!!
August 10th, 2007 | 
Author: A new series of workshops and delivery sessions began at Margrove Park after the community centres Internet connection was finalised with help from the UK Online SID project.
With help from the team from the University and Destinations, residents got straight into developing an on line identity for the village, downloading the software needed, installing it and working on images of the village to upload to a village webpage.
There will be a further 5 sessions looking at ICT issues that the residents have requested. With First Time Online being made available for those needing to develop or start their ICT journey, others in the groups can concentrate on other areas such as digital photography or web site design and maintenance.

my son was often called a square at school i wonder if he could have learned from diversity dave, just like the yellow square in the film did.
Sound Mind – a new radio channel
The soundproof nature of the new Radio Studio in the Diamond Street base of Redcar and Cleveland Mind was tested today when gales of laughter issued from the room where training was being conducted. The first audio piece is online and can be found here
Watch that space as training continues and big plans are afoot for future broadcasts.
SID in Bedale
Had a wonderful time working with pupils from Bedale Primary. The children do the school great credit. Over 40 children worked in three sessions to produce the animations you can see below. Apart from the actual animating the children learned so much about teamwork, problem solving and negotiation. Plus they gave me two bottles of red wine!
SID at the Mela
What a fantastic day was had at the Middlesbrough Mela on Sunday 14th July.
Thanks to Teesside University, Destinations UK Online Centre and the SID project had a fabulous space on the Bandstand and were able to promote digital and social inclusion at this prestigious event. With images and video being uploaded live at the event people could see first hand the power of ICT and how it can bring people together. With people checking local websites of the Mela as well as Direct.Gov for local information it was a very active day. Even the weather forecast was being checked online!
