Table 3

When using Photo Story, not everyone remembered to
a) BROWSE and choose where to save your project and movie
b) You can ONLY post your movie which is a .wmv not a .wp3
c) When I was adding music, for the first time I was not on my 1st photo and I could not quickly find a way to either remove that music (I could change it or delete the entire photo) or get it to start from the beginning at the first photo. Time was an issue so I chose the easy option that meant the music would just start over at the last photo.

My Photo Story practice is 2 posts below because I did not understand the directions! I did make a powerpoint slide and save it as a jpeg for the 1st 'photo'.

Thing #21 - Podcasting

Yeah! One thing that I've already done before. Now, I'm not expert but podcasting was something I decided to play with this year (before I signed on for 22 other things!) I started with a session by one of our own and then a session at Region IV's Technology Applications Conference which is well worth the day and the $25.00 (they even feed you!) Anyway, I learned about Jodix converter to get the photostory into mp4 from wmv and about Media Max to host the podcasts. (This is where you get the url to link the podcast to your blog, etc.) All free, just another user name and password! Anyway, my students started in the fall and then I received a grant from the ed tech department so I was committed to doing more. I've been doing them myself but hope to get back to using the students once all the testing hooha settles down. They can be found at My Pod or Yours. But for the sake of the 23 things, here's a little sample.
