Deciding on media form!


Have decided not to embed the media but to experiment with a new software programme which allows me to embed my own audio and video.... Let's see what really happens eh! I don't know how I am going to get me students to do their project in reality... It may take alot longer than I think....I think I am going to get them in the study suite next week to see how they can edit with Windows Movie Maker. At least today and yesterday....we used lots of different forms... 1. Smartboard, linked to websites, and quick time audio for listening exam practice 2. Website experiments for listening with answers...the feedback from the students who were actively using them was good 3. Using Audio Hijack Pro and Audacity (although I prefer PC based Cool Edit Pro) to record idents, intros, and outros for their weekly radio show. Love using audio software that I am familiar with...the students are impressed too that I can do it infront of them in a matter of minutes!

Embedding audio in a blogg


So all I want to do is embed my audio diary into here!

What a simple task eh? Just need to do it a bit...and then I reckon I may

be able to do it easily. It all takes time....even when I was with my students in the library
today it was all time consuming...logging on a public computer can be a nightmare for
many of my guys!

Found it!


Macs are great for most things...it's just hard finding the software you want sometimes But I got something that I had deleted a while ago, as I thought I would never use it! SWITCH...works a dream! amr files see you...

So have decided that this is the place where I need to keep my diary.

I started doing it on my mobile phone recording my daily deeds as amr files!

Now I am trying to work out how to convert the files as usable files to insert here...
