Q. Where do I find the DVD-Rom contents folder GCTM - 07.

Ans: Please download a replacement 'Start the Resource' handout here for updated instructions on this task.

 

Q. If I want to show my class the Buy Grooves: Buy Tracks movie we saw at the training where can I get it?

Ans. Your pupils can watch the movie online here. They just need to click on the file name and it will start to play in their browser after a few seconds.

If you want to download a higher quality version of the movie to watch on a smartboard or from your computer:

Mac: Control Click on the file name below and choose 'Download Linked file as....'

PC: Right Click on the file name below and choose 'Save Linked File as...."

Buy Grooves: Buy Tracks (High Quality)

This file is 50Mb big so will take 15 to 30 minutes to download.

 

 

Q. Can I use the DVD on my smartboard?

Ans. Yes you can but you will need to address the volume being produced by the speakers of the laptop or pc running the smartboard. You will probably need to plug in speakers or connect the PC to a hi-fi or ghetto blaster to boost the volume.
