Kaleidos Media Tools

Won't be long now until RM release Media Tools for the Kaleidos LP. I can't wait. Being a small primary school it will cost us £250, I have mine ready and waiting. One big plus point is that it's a one off purchase, no paying year after year. £250 you say, what do you get for that?

The Media Tools are an exciting set of very simple, easy to use tools with more creative methods of contributing to discussions, blogs, surveys etc. They will be great to use with my Year 2 children who are just getting started on the LP.

You get:

  • Simple text editor
  • Advanced text editor
  • Webcam recorder
  • Sound recorder
  • Sketch pad
  • Simple picture importer

Can't wait for the simple picture importer, I am sure it will benefit many teachers as well as children. They are due out sometime in June.

  1. Did a pilot for RM through our secondary feeder school working with the media tools, I enjoyed it very much!! The children laughed at my video and drawing via sketch!! Excellent for younger children that do not read and write very well.
