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.

Day 4 Thursday, July 31, 2008
Today was comparisons and analysis day for me. I realize that the ultimate collaborative tool for Spanish projects is Voicethread with its multi-faceted options of still visuals, typed script, audio recording and sketching pencil. Microsoft Photostory is easy to use but has very limited scripting available. Students are able to record information for the visual presentation, a perfect fit for second language learning. I would need to contact the computer technician concerning the free download. MovieMaker is a similar venue with more options for customizing the presentation with a variety of entries, backgrounds and timing, not unlike PowerPoint.
I still need to determine if Pbwiki has advantages over wikispaces. I have used Pbwikis extensively but found that there are some drawbacks, such as a limited space and an inability to do tabbing with the tab key.
My final goal is to organize the Webpage which actually should be a work in progress with constant updates. I would like to create an attractive home page and have already inserted pictures from our student tour of Costa Rica in June. Has anyone worked with the Google site? I could use a bit of tech support! thanks
