Wayoutmedia has been working in the Community, Education and
Voluntary sector for
over 15 yrs.
It is an exciting time again in ICT with the advent of web 2.0.
Here is an example of some of the wide ranging projects wayoutmedia have been involved in.
Websites that you control
Wayoutmedia designs sites for you that you can update and integrate with your online social media campaigns. Wayout trains you so that you have full control.
Helen is a Creative Practitioner who goes into schools and works with the teachers to help design new approaches to education using communication technologies. Her specialism is VLE's (School Learning Platforms)
Helen visits schools and teaches pupils about online safety and new trends on the Internet, which empowers them and informs their approach to self publication.
Punk Rock goes 'social'
Helen's passion for communications and her love of Punk have led her to build a Social Networking site for Punks.
The first site is based in Portsmouth, her hometown and is
gaining members weekly. Members are old and new punk rockers who have
uploaded their photos, music and videos to contribute to the first
online user led archive of the story of punk rock (by punk rockers)
Helen was the Community Web Developer and Trainer on the CNA project, a
research project run by the Community Informatics Dept at the
University of Brighton, looking into the way communities use the
internet with a view to creating an online environment suitable for all
in order to upload their content and interact with each other.
Helen was also the Schools Outreach Coordinator on the Fiankoma
project, an International Development Project funded by DFID, which
crossed the North South divide, teaching teachers in Ghana and the UK
the best way to utilise the web within their classrooms, shaping the
lesson to work within their respective curriculum's, with a strong
leaning towards International Development.
Helen was the first web development officer for Brightons, Royal
Pavilion, Libraries and Museums, teaching the staff of all the
departments how a web site would communicate to the public and involve
them in the services they deliver. This was mainly focused around
librarians who learnt how the Internet had become an additional tool
within the libraries service.
Helen co-founded the Way Collective in 1995, who along with Technotribe and Rainbownet, took the Internet into Glastonbury for the first time. We created and updated the Glastonbury web site from inside the Green Futures field. We created a Semi Autonomous Zone consisting of a laptop connected to the Internet via Remote Communications (a very large and expensive mobile phone) housed in Geodesic Domes powered by Alternative Technology.
Our aim was to demonstrate that is was possible to communicate from anywhere (if there was a signal!) without impacting too much on the planet.
Helen also designed the branding for the collective and advertising for events.
