Ever needed a really quick, free and easy piece of autocue software without any barriers? Well Primary Technology paid me to make one for PrimaryPad so I released a jQuery plugin and pushed out a free online autocue with a really simple editor.
If you want to collaboratively edit on your document before sending it to the autocue why not try use PrimaryPad? Video for how to use it below:
Note: Autocues are sometimes called teleprompter so the above is an autocue/teleprompter..
Safe Search now has better image search functionality, returning more results and formatting them better for Primary Pupils! Try it out now 
Ever wanted to make a movie and needed an autoQue? Well why not collaboratively write your script in PrimaryPad then export it straight to our autoQue tool?
We have released the autoQue tool under an open source license and we will be adding it to the suite of tools available through the safe search website.
Check it out now, visit this pad then click Export –> autoQue
Government’s meddling in technology in education is overdue. Remember the “every classroom gets an interactive whiteboard” push, well, I think we’re due another and due to the Governments latest appointment it makes the most sense that you will be seeing a push for “every classroom gets wireless Internet connectivity.”
It would certainly tick one of Naace’s boxes of empowering pupils devices as they would be able to get online and access learning resources and have their device “updated” by the school either via purchased apps or via free apps online.
There are really 4 or so big hardware players in this market, namely Netgear, Cisco, Meru and Ruckus. Most other companies can’t compete as the residential grade wireless isn’t up to the job in high densities. Who wins from a services point of view? There are hundereds of wireless installation companies, the key ones that have the skills to do school specific deployments are Ergo, RM and Primary Technology.
It’s true that Gove doesn’t seem very interested in technology in education however with the new appointment of Phil Smith and his background at Cisco I can imagine he will want to put a stamp on things and what better/easier/more natural way than trying to improve the nations infrastructure by empowering pupils mobile learning devices and at the same time empowering “legacy” school owned equipment such as netbooks and laptops.
Naace’s press release on the future of technology is a great read and I thought I’d summarize it for you and provide some links to resources that will enable you to adopt their vision of the future.
Our team at Primary Technology are going through each of these points of reference that Naace have indicated and looking at ways we can provide a web based service that will enable teachers to have an easier barrier to uptake an accomplish the goals set out.
