Goodbye to the box !
Welcome to our new look Tune In Not Out site (TINO).
So back in 2008 we began life as a recording studio in a cardboard box. Hopefully it was a site many of you visited and enjoyed. But as TINO has developed alongside social media approaches and most importantly your feedback we decided it was time for a revamp and here it is….
The new site still provides you with the technology to record and upload your comments, stories, personal experiences etc direct to the site, but now there is a greater focus on getting you the information and content you need on a wide range of topics – we like to call it our portal!
So exploring the site you will notice
Topic pages
These are pages a jammed packed with a range of health and wellbeing info. You will find podcasts and videos, factsheets, comments and content created and uploaded by you and your peers.
Factsheets
As mentioned above these feature on the Topics page and have been created by the wonderful team at Reach Out, who have partnered with us to ensure you get great factsheet info as well as digital media content.
Recording Facilities
You can either go to our Record page, or locate the record facilitates on the topic page of interest to you. You will find an option for video, audio, written work and images. You can share a personal story, tips, suggestions etc – just be sure to check out our contributing guidelines.
Blog
That is where you are now. Join us via RSS feed or just keep checking back as we are aiming to add new content every week ranging from youth news to research and updates on the TINO project. The blog also has a featured topic section, where we focus on one issue. Where possible we hope to have guest bloggers contributing to these, from other young people through to industry professionals.
Podcast Production Tools – as we are all about digital content, we will provide you with tips and tools for undertaking effective digital media from podcasting, through to editing and storyboard. We have a tools and templates section as well as a dedicated blog. so hopefully not only will you get info on living safe and healthy but you could also be podcasting like a pro !
Social Media – You can also find us on Facebook (Tune In Not Out) and Twitter (tune_in_not_out) and at our You Tube channel www.youtube.com/tuneinnotout. Become a flan, follow and tweet us !
Research – we also have a research and policy section on the site and a dedicated blog which provides you links and downloads to research related to youth health and wellbeing, technology and alcohol and other drugs.
Please explore the new site and if you have any comments or suggestions why not leave us a comment in our feedback blog.
