Using the suggestions provided last week I have attempted to complete the audio intro to the blog page. I have recorded an audio intro using audacity. I have also attempted to place this uploaded recording on my page. I have used various players and uploaded the file to various servers. I thought that It may be best to use scholar as the host, because each of us already have a scholar page. I am working with David to determine if the file should be saved as a streaming podcast or if it can be a basic file. We have tried both ways, and I am not sure why the file is not playing, but I will continue to work with it. Blogger is giving me an error message Once I find a formula that works, I will create a Camtasia tutorial that will provide step by step instructions on how to record, upload, link and embed the audio file to the page.
I also ran across an interesting article that discusses the use of Blogs to enhance reflection and Community of Practice. I will email this article to each of you, because blogger will not allow me to upload the article. This article could be useful for AECT.
Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteThe best way to upload videos is through You Tube for sure. It takes a second! But for posters, PPT slides and documents, the best way that I found was the slide share: www.slideshare.net. They also have the possibility of adding audio to make sort of webnars. I have not messed with it yet but I think it would be a great thing to learn it because webnars are a very powerful training mode nowadays.
Good information !! Personally I had even more difficulties with using Scholar. But I guess you mean using Scholar as a server and plug the video on our blogs, right? If that works, let us know!! Also, a Camtasia tutorial is good idea!!
