Search Find Learn

Michelle Gallen's e-learning blog.

Why Search Find Learn?

Because I feel that Search, Find, Learn describes how we learn in the 21st century - we Search for what we need to know, we Find it, and we Learn it. This blog explores how technology is helping us do that.

Humans have been on a learning journey since the dawn of time. And it's never been so exciting. If you're using technology in an effective, experimental or innovative way, I'd love to hear from you.

The BBC's Photosynth Project

The BBC have launched a new project utilising Microsoft's Photosynth technology. They aim to create 3D representations of some Britain's most interesting buildings by combining hundreds of different photographs. Most of the featured buildings have been filmed for a new BBC series 'How we Built Britain', which explores Britain's past through its buildings.

Microsoft describe the venture as being an 'exciting 'research and development' project', which is an interesting definition of a new nation-wide online project.

I'm interested in this project as it contravenes what I know of several BBC technical guidelines - not least the use of Flickr. And the relative speed at which the BBC has moved to utilise the Photosynth technology is impressive. A sign of things to come?
