13. Meta-Judge AwardsThe meta-judge for this project is Terry Freedman . Terry is an independent educational ICT consultant who publishes both a website and a newsletter. He has authored several articles and books. He is also a member of the British Computer Society, a Fellow of Mirandanet, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.Terry also gives presentations in educational ICT, including the use of Web 2.0 applications in schools, in the UK and elsewhere

14. Third Place TieWinner: TiffanyVideo: The Learning AnalyticJudges comment: Well researched and set out in a logical way. I'd have liked to have found out more about the examples given, and the technology. For example, are the emails sent out to students automatically and what do they contain?

15. Third Place TieWinner: Sarah W.Video: eBooks and innovationJudges comment: I think this is great idea, well-executed, with a good script and easy to watch. I may use this myself, with students or for a presentation. I have only two suggestions for the future though: a) speak more slowly b) make the credits easier to read; they fly by too quickly, are too small, and in a dark font on a dark background.

16. Second PlaceWinner: Hannah H.Video: The History MakerJudges comment: I really liked this, and would have preferred it to have been much longer, exploring other applications in education. As far as it went, even though it possibly implied that AR will be available only through special glasses, this is the best illustration I've seen of why AR would be useful in education.

17. FIRST PLACEThe Flat Classroom Project 2011-1 overall Winner: Rachel E.Video: Ebooks, Evolution of the BookJudges Comment: I really liked this video: it was very clear indeed, had some noce touches of humor and the points were well made, without talking. I think it would have been better if the music had been different. Also, I'd like to have been some predictions of future uses of ebooks, like assessments, and the potential downsides of ebooks. Regarding collaboration, the video didn't compare like with like, because the non-ebook sequence showed people annotating not just reading.

18. Congratulations to all students and teachersThank you to all judges, advisors, researchers and supporters.
