using Blogs

Chris, Deb or anyone that can help:

I want to use the google blog that I set up called WCReadingCouncil. I haven't been successful in having it available to people under the Blog search thru the Google page. Do I have to invite them to my Blog?
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Podcasting Site -- Easy and Free

Hi Everyone!!!

I miss you all this week!

I discovered a site new to me (I heard about it on Twitter!). It's called GCast. I'm just now trying it for the first time but I think it could be great for us and our students to podcast very, very easily!!

It's at:

www.gcast.com

Good reading

I've started reading a young adult novel, "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow about a very tech-savvy high school boy. Good story, big-brother-ish in post 911 America. I feel I understand it better after our full week of tech immersion last week.

voice thread

I was very happy when, looking for information about a plant I bought, that I found myself in Voice Thread. Because of your class, I knew what it was!
Thanks Chris and Deb.

Questions about Voki, Webiste,

This class certainly has increase my ability to use the multiple sites we discussed directly in my classes. I do have several unresolved questions that someone else may have had more success resolving:
1) How do you embed the Voki into a Website or a wiki without having all the HTML information appear, and then not work?
2) Several on my students had trouble with recording sound in their Voicethread, and, in turn, I also had a problem during my attempts in class along with several of my colleagues. Any ideas?
3) My website is in place with photsos of our recent Costa Rica trip, but I am unable to put script in without the underline button activating. There has to be a simple solution to this.
4) I am wondering if there would be an advantage of using Wikispaces instead of Pbwiki for my classes next year. Has any one discovered pros/cons?
Thanks for any input.
