Weather Studio from Kudlian Software

Weather Studio is a fantastic new application fromKudlian Software designed to help bring your Geography lessons to life by allowing students to create, file and present their own weather forecasts. 

Students begin by choosing the appropriate maps for their forecast, either from the Map Library or by importing a suitable image file.

Maps can then have all the correct symbols placed on them, and a script for the forecast written in the editing area. The large range of maps and symbols means that as well as predicting local weather, pupils can also report on major weather systems around the world, including hurricanes and typhoons.

Two different film settings allow the maps to appear with the presenter. In front of a chroma key (green or blue) screen the maps are placed behind the presenter. Selecting the split screen view places the maps next to the presenter.

Text written for each map will scroll on a tele-prompt allowing users to put together a flawless broadcast, advancing onto a new map with a simple click on the mouse.

Weather Studio is ideal for building on cross-curricula ICT links including, teamwork, collaboration, speaking & listening and creative writing.

So why not bring a real-life feeling to your Geography lessons and nurture the next generation of Weather presenters!
