Thing 13 - Digital Images

_Voki
Very frustrating site at first, and if you don't have a paid subscription it won't let you embed the code.  All I have is the link to the avatar I made  AVATAR LINK.  Once I did have the link set up, the voice will not always work.  I can see that it would be fun for presentations and projects, but I wish the set up was better.

Photo Sharing and processing
My Shutterfly Link for my music photo collection.  It took me a while to convince the program that it was ok to share my pics. I am also comparing it to Snapfish, which I have used for years.  Shutterfly gets better raitings for it's Iphone app so I am trying that too.  I Added both to my Iphone and really like the Snapfish App.  I added it to my wives phone too....So many grand kid pics, so little time!
Snapfish same pics, different service.

I did a two short shows.  One was a few shots of some of the groups I play with in different locations.  The second is a short group of pictures I will use for the Constitution project we do.  I am looking for public domain images I can add to it.  I am not finding a lot of them.

Short Show I did for the Constitutional Convention

I was surprised at how much time this unit took.  I really like PhotoPeach, but there are other ways to do the same thing.  The sharing aspect is great though. The writing and music make it a great multimedia display for many topics.  Embedding it on my site allows for each student to see it individually.  I wish the students could build their own too, but the whole email thing makes it a bit difficult.  We use Photostory to do the same thing and the kids really like it.

Pictures and multimedia really fit Digital Experience a, b, c ISTE. It also a great way to model digital abilities  ISTE a,b.  Multi Medea is a good non-verbal example for learning as well.  It augments and modifies the curriculum introduced.
