Week 7

=Creating/Publishing the "Presentation" of your "Web Presence"= There are several different types of presentation software that you can use for your presentation. My top two choices for creating a presentation are Jing and Voicethread. If you have another type of publishing software that you feel would best help you illustrate your project, then go ahead and use it.

The differences are: 1. With Jing, you record your voice as you capture your screen. So, you could have your Web Presence up on the screen and click on links as you talk about them. Both your audio and screen movements will be captured in the presentation. This is an example of Jing from week 3 of our course. 2. With Voicethread, you will take screenshots of your Web Presence and paste them into your Voicethread "slides". You can add audio after you organize/upload your pictures. You could also create a PPT (without audio) and upload that into Voicethread. Then, add audio to your slides through Voicethread.


 * 1) Use Voicethread: @http://voicethread.psu.edu/ (you'll have to sign in with your PSU username and password)
 * 2) Create and select your screenshots (At this point, you can upload your screenshots directly into Voicethread as individual pictures. Or, you can put them in PowerPoint and upload the entire PPT into Voicethread.)
 * How to do screenshots on MAC
 * 1) Click the "Create" tab in Voicethread.
 * 2) Upload each of your screenshots/photos (continue to click on "My Computer" to upload more)
 * 3) Put the URL of your "Web Presence" on one of the "slides" - you can also put the URL as the title/link of your first slide. It will prompt you to do that When you are still on the "Create" tab - in #1 Upload.
 * 4) Add your comments to each "slide". This is a presentation so keep it short and to the point. Make sure you tell us exactly what we need to know in order to understand your Web-Based Learning Experience.
 * You should still be on the "Create" tab
 * Click "#2 Comment"
 * Add your comment on each slide by clicking on the "Comment" button on each slide
 * Move through the slides by clicking on the Right Arrows
 * 1) You need to "Share" your Voicethread so that each of us can see it on your blog
 * Click "Publishing Options" at the bottom of the screen.
 * Make sure that "allow anyone to View and Comment" are both CHECKED
 * 1) You need to "Embed" your Voicethread into a new blog post entitled Web-Based Learning Experience
 * You should still be on the "Create" tab (If you're not, click on the "gear" in the upper left hand side of your Voicethread. Click on "Edit".)
 * At the bottom of your screen, click "Embed"
 * There are 2 different ways to Embed
 * Click on the "Blogger" button and follow the instructions
 * OR Click on the "Embed Code" and copy it, then paste it into a New Blog Post - right into where you would type text.
 * 1) View each others' presentations and comment in their blog.
