Radio NZ - This Way Up with Simon Morton


This Way Up is a weekly two-hour radio show broadcast on Radio New Zealand National Saturdays from 12pm-2pm - it explores the things we use and consume.

Things we use and consume..what on earth does that mean?

Go on have a taste - we've covered superstitions, the history of scrabble and monopoly, ethical tea, how deodorant works, fair trade chocolate, hitchhiking in Cuba, jetlag, the laws of beachcombing, global butler shortages, tartan, the largest Swiss army knife, supermarket food labeling, homebrew, energy saving light bulbs, getting kitted out for the duck hunting season, the physics of toilet paper, why your urine smells funny after eating asparagus, how to buy a bra, the history of chewing gum, what makes camouflage so fashionable, using mobile phones on planes, things you'll find on your keyboard and why people eat together....and that's just for starters!

Give us your ears..go on, we'll give them back, promise! You might even enjoy it. Sign up to our weekly show preview by emailing thiswayup-join@lists.radionz.co.nz

Short Flickr Video

Here's a short video about Flickr from YouTube. It's not so much a how to as a description of the site. The slideshow below provides a better instruction. For those who have not used Youtube videos before it's best to pause the video until it completely loads up (red line at bottom).

How to Get started with Flickr

This is a tutorial on getting started with Flickr. It also covers some of the services Flickr offers. This tutorial goes into more depth than what we are asking students to do for terms and may provide a good reference point for anyone wanting more information than that covered in our tutorial. You can click on the slideshar icon to open this PowerPoint on the original site which will provide a clearer view.

Getting started on Blogger

Some students might want to get a head start on their blogs. The following slide show provides an introduction to getting started on Blogger (this is the host site we will use). If you are feeling confidant please feel free to start a blog and investigate the tools that are available. This will allow you to do more in the tutorials as well being able to offer assistance to other students.
