I used this image in my class. We were studying quadrilaterals. The only thing I didn't like was the way I could not get my text sized correctly to be able to see all of the text on the page.
I had trouble with this assignment just on posting it to my blog and figuring out where to find the URL. I hope I have it figured out. So this would be rhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeally helpful if wanted to give directions for an online assignment and you were not able to give your students direct instruction. I am thinking work stations when I use Jing.
I love photo story. I think incorporating this type of technology into the chttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giflassroom is a great idea. I know that I enjoy watching others lessons this way and I am sure that students enjoy watching a video over their teacher lecturing.
Applian FLV player is one of the applications I tried to use to expropriate a you tube video. This particular player did not work. I am not sure if it was my computer or just that it doesn't work. I did not try another type of application. My computer froze up during the downloading process of this player.I think this may be something I will have to look into more in the future. I believe that my computer needs cleaned up before it can handle downloading additional files. I do think that I would like to find a program that would work to download videos and be able to publish them back on the computer.
I can give you a real good reason why URLs should be shortened...... they're too long!!!! No one can remember URLs if they are too long. Furthermore, if a URL is long it is likely people will not remember where they found a great site.
