__**Multimedia Tools and Resources**__
 * __Wikispaces__**

Your primary tool in this project is this wikispace. It has the capability of sharing information and can be uploaded to with almost every coding and file type that you need. If there is a problem that cannot be solved by reading this page click on help first to see if they show you how to do it. After that you may need to leave a message for either teacher on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

The wiki is very flexible in style and layout. It is easy to add extra pages to your group pages:
 * First click "New Page".
 * Next give your new page a name e.g. "Group 13 Catholic Teachings", and click create
 * Next add some text to the editor box displayed. This is important as the final creation will not work unless there is text there. So may just add the title again. e.g. "Group 13 Catholic Teachings" and click save.
 * Now navigate back to your group page and add a hyperlink to your newly created page.
 * To do this highlight the text you want to hyperlink, then click the hyperlink symbol, then "wiki link" and use the pick list to find the page you created and click save.
 * Its now done and linked for you to edit and use as needed.

You can also **monitor pages** and be **notified of changes**. The easiest way to do this is to go to a page you want to monitor, click "notify me" tab at the top of the page and follow instructions. You will then get emails every time somebody changes something on the page you are monitoring.

This function also has a compatible RSS feed for feedreaders such as [|Bloglines].

__**Evoca**__

To enable each group and the wiki as a whole to exchange thoughts reflections and voice recordings it is suggested that each student set up and account at **Evoca**.

To do this go to the Evoca site and **create an account**. Try to use the same **username and password** as you did for the wiki. Evoca allows up to 60 minutes of free recordings to be used.

To make a recording you either record online, or upload a previously made recording.

Once your recording has been made you can assign the recording to a group. You can then assign this recording to the **[|FlatPlanet Group]** on [|Evoca] so that it easily found by other members of your group.


 * Below you will find an audio recording from Mr O'Carroll about how to use Evoca and a Video demonstrating how to embed Evoca. The video was taken from the** **Flatclassroomproject****, where there are online video tutorials of how to create and embed different media types, including Podcasts****, Videos and Sound Files.**

 * __Other tools and resources__**

It is also possible to upload and embed video clips and recordings, podcasts and other media types. The best explanation of how to use these can be found at **Flatclassroomproject** where there are online video tutorials of how to create and embed different media types.

__**GodTube.com**__

[|Godtube] is a Christian version of Youtube and has films only to do with Christianity and can easily be embedded into the wiki. You just need to copy and paste the coding below the video into the "embed media" box in your wiki page.

A few warnings though. The videos will not be viewable within Richard Challoner School as the site is currently blocked by the school's firewall. Also the site is a Christian site, not Catholic, and therefore some of the resources are not in line with the requirements of the project. One thing it does have is the ability to embed the player and the video in the wiki but not the blog.

This first clip outlines some reasons why Christians should care for the environment.

This second clip should be watched and used with CAUTION. It is made by a group of Christians in the UK who do not believe in Global Warming and it's effects. They use the Bible and some logical arguments to back this up. But I must stress that this is not the views of the mainstream Christianity or the Roman Catholic Church but the use of the Bible References is interesting.
