Thought I'd resurrect this thread to see if any school's have found an online cloud-based IDEs which would work as a replacement for Replit - Teams for Education?

Are there any Cloud / Software-As-Service based Timetabling solutions folk on here would recommend?

I was actually thinking about this the other day as I'd been discussing job applications with HR. I was shocked to learn part of their form now requires that job applicants submit a note of their social media profiles for the major platforms (Facebook, X, Instagram, etc) in order to run an AI check of the content posted to vet potential employees! When you couple that with the push in recent years by goverments to remove online anonimity it's hardly surprising that many are growing increasingly wary of what they post on social media and avoiding it's use altogether!

I'd agree that Gemini works pretty well when transcribing Google Meets. However, our staff have been trying to use it to record face-to-face meetings and, perhaps understandaby, it seems to struggle to differentiate speakers. Has anyone found an app or Google extension which makes it more usable for face-to-face meetings? Or would another service (Otter.AI?) be a better solution for that purpose?

Exactly this +1

Several of our staff have reported the same issue. The "Ink Workspace" functionality seems to have vanished presumably in a Windows update. Worse still the Windows Store app needs a Microsoft login so our staff can no longer use it Does anyone know if it's been replaced in Windows 10 by anything ? Or Windows 11 have similar functionality/features integrated hence the removal of it from Windows 10?

Watched this in the cimema a few weeks ago and was uterly disappointed by it. It feels like just another a low budget generic zombie flick!

Mine’s scheduled for delivery this evening so will fire it up and give Mario kart tour a try tonight. Keen to try out Zelda as well to see how the upgraded visuals look in TOTK and BOTW. Has anyone tried the GameCube emulation?

If I was there those would be the cabinets I'd be making beeline for! 😎 If used to go to the Replay Play Expo events every year (primarily for the arcade cabinets) but they've stopped running so many of them unfortunately. I think the only one left is the Blackpool event which is a bit of a trek for me travelwise It's a shame because they had some amazing stuff there like the full size ride-on Sega space harrier / Afterburner cabinets. https://www.replayevents.com/upcoming-shows I'd initally thought that perhaps they'd stopped running them because the cabinets were becoming too valuable to allow the public to game on. Or perhaps that they were becoming difficult to maintain and source spare parts for due to the fact they're nearly 50 years old. However, it's more likely just that only folk who remember them from back in the 1980s would have any interest in playing them today and they're a bit too niche!

Updated higher resolution/fps edictions of existing Switch titles like Zelda is one of the mains reasons I'm planning on getting one as well. Though the new Metroid and Mario Kart titles look pretty slick too.

That's another thing I appreciated about Clickview in that it reduced the need for awkward conversations with staff about acquiring content from iplayer/Youtube or converting DVDs! I think it would be a real downgrade for staff if we had to go back to them asking us to manually record programmes from Freeview. There's definitely a need for a service that can record/store the programmes for us and let staff download them after broadcast.

I'd agree about it not being worth paying to host video content given the alternatives available. The key aspect of Clickview I do like is how easy it makes recording freeview programmes. We haven't found any other services which provide the same level of functionality/flexibility when it comes to staff being able to easily edit/cut and store programmes from Freeview channels. Do you still have a method of recording programmes from UK Freeview if staff request any are added to SharePoint Stream?

Has anyone looked at Planet eStream recently? How does it compare cost-wise with Clickview? Are there any other alternatives with considering?

It's primarily just cost that was making us consider moving. Clickview have increased our annual subscription by an order of magnitude this year (~50% IIRC) which prompted us to look at alternatives.

For anyone who's cancelled their Clickview subscription is there any method of exporting the videos/recording stored in your library to another system? Or is moving away from Clickview effectively accepting you're going to lose any existing videos teachers are using?
