Thing #8 Screencast

This is the glog which I created for my PBWorks wiki. I used Jing....I had to re-create several times to get the "jest" of the whole thing-"capturing, saving, etc"...also, clicked on x-large to fill up the space AND it looks great on the edit page but when I saved it to the blog not all of it showed up...Maybe "large" for a blog???
Each icon on the glog is a link but of course a jing doesn't capture this. AH HA!! When I clicked on one of the icons the jing opened up to the whole glog....Interesting.

so a Jing captured screen could used in a presentation....I use "capture a screen shot" with my Apple all the time.  (shift-Alt-4) and then scroll down the picture..It saves on the desktop.

 Well I couldn't get Bookr to work like I wanted it too. I was trying to create "endangered rain forest plants" but couldn't import my pictures from flickr to bookr. First I re-named, then changed to jpg...nothing worked. My "saved" plant pictures didn't show up in flickr ...hmmm

Any suggestions for me?

Flickr pictures are great if they are useful for your project. I'm wondering if this "tool" is more for younger students. I did see someone create one "What is writing" which I thought was effective.

My Voki- I need to find out how to record "voice" on my computer--so I went ahead and used their voice "help". I was limited as to how much text I could add.  I could use a Voki to talk to my students about announcing a book fair, new book, contest, etc. for the library on the library's webpage.
I found this helpful video on "how to create a Voki"-     Voki

(Sat.) I've been "experimenting" with glogster for TOO long. I can't seem to get the text on the various graphics. I've set up an account and have looked at some of the examples. Maybe another hour and I'll be more successful.
(Sun.) Well YAHOO! A good night's sleep and another day! I finally figured out Glogster-I think! This is just fabulous!  I could see where you could "set up" a "graphic"  library lesson for students to use. The possibilities are Limit-Less....My next venture to create a booktrailer using Voicethreads!
