Cheese and Crackers

/ Prezi is a very unique tool. It makes communication dynamic and engaging. It speaks to the 21st century learner with short phrases and bites of information...kind of like a cheese and cracker table at a party. Let us not forget the purpose of cheese and crackers---to set up our guests for the main meal. After an hour, cheese and crackers gives way to deep hunger. Guide teachers and students to use Prezi as a tool to entice; a taste of what is to be presented in the main event. Make sure phrases make sense and can stand alone in the big message.

From YouTube to Your Blog

See video of prize winning digtal story downloaded from YouTube then saved to my desktop in PC format. RealMedia on my laptop does this for me automatically. I then uploaded the video to my blog. Note--I must select "compose" tab in the edit mode for my blog before I have the option for uploading a video. Be sure to read through the Terms and Conditions before attempting to upload. Blogger knows when this file is accessed, or not. The entire process for uploading this short video was about 15 minutes. After the upload is complete, the still frame of the video appears on the open blog window. If your blog can be accessed in your classroom, then the video can also be viewed without blocks as a result of YouTube code coming through the Internet.
