Want to host PrimaryWall in your school for your pupils/teachers and/or customize the look & feel? Good news! We open sourced the project so you can go ahead and download it now!
We open soured PrimaryWall as part of our ongoing commitment to Open source software and community engagement/control over technology. We will still be providing PrimaryWall.com as that is where we will be developing new features.
We thought this was a good example of teacher/pupil engagement with PrimaryPad. Here you can see the timeslider being used to play back the document progress.
Internet Explorer 10 preview came out today and it doesn’t support websockets which is a huge shame 🙁 Chrome does, Firefox supports them but it’s disabled by default.. Others also support Websockets.
Websockets makes your internet experience better by giving you the ability to have faster data responses on websites. This means that really-real time web applications such as Etherpad and PrimaryWall can be adopted easier.
We updated PrimaryBlogger to WordPress 3.1.1 on the 9th of April, everything has gone to plan.
Enjoy the new features and access to new plugins! 
Please report any bugs on the community page.
Introducing the Random name selector tool. A simple tool built for teachers to randomly pick a pupil, person, item or object from a list.
Basically if you have a list of people and you need to pick one then whack their name into a list and click Go.. It will randomly pick someone, give you a pretty animation and some audio output. I know it’s simple and basic and doesn’t have many options but that’s the idea behind it.
You can single click share and embed it using an iframe (click Save & Share).
Geek warning: The tool is open source (as it’s 99.9% html/javascript) and is under the Afero GPL license. Just View Source and copy/paste, most of the js objects are from CDNs and you can just grab them too. If you do decide to copy it then please try to keep the credit to me in because I need my ego pleasing. I avoided flash as much as possible so all the animations are done with jQuery.
Oh before I forget, thanks to @PrimaryT aka Primary Technology for funding the development 🙂
