Attach Apple compatable movies = .mov and sound = .mp3 with the music icon
Attach anything else with paperclip (.wmv and .wav = microsoft)
.jpg and .gif are attachable either way
www.commoncraft.com/blogs - Blogs in Plain English
iSpring ?? - takes powerpoint and narration and makes them uploadable to blog, saves as an .swf (shockwave flash)
Teacher pages can be seen by everyone but student blogs are only seen by the MS and HS campuses - CIPA and DOPA
Blogs are good for missed work and homework, especially with our new 'No Late Work' policy
Reverse instruction... instruction happens at home and school is used for guided practice

Need earbuds - herpes in the ear!!!!!!!
Text, audio, (microphone) video/talking head, (mimeo/document camera/wireless tablet) simulation website - covers most modes of learning styles
It's real world when it is posted and it affects other people
Need Audacity - sound mixing program (never go past a -12!!!)
Want to see bigger waves
Delete all your uh's! (uh's have specific wave forms) Delete long pauses too! (Highlight to hear if that is what you want to delete and hit delete key)
You may use 30 seconds of any song over 3 minutes (10% or 30 secs whichever is shorter), BUT... YOU MUST GIVE CITATION!!! (artist, composer and producer)
No more than 10-20 secs of a movie (trailer)

Save to your desktop then, drop to your blog then save it to your PodCast folder in teacher folders (probably not a bad idea to print out a copy and keep a hard copy)
3 sins of saving - 3 down arrows - save to desktop, save as File Name: somethingshortwithoutspaces, save as Type: MP3
Always Title it as an MP3, Artist, Album, Year, Soundtrack, Comments will roll across their iPod
Ok, to find the lame file, you go to my computer, C:, program files, LAMEFE, lame.dll, then you're good to go!
Programs: AVerVision(3) - click record(click the camera/AVerMedia 300 includes microphone:can fold into itself), record and then click stop or same camera button (or ESC), save to desktop (as AVI), then upload using the paperclip - will show us how to convert to .mov in August.
