So, I finished my last post, and realized that I was talking, but showing nothing. So, start to finish, including the time to upload to Vimeo AND for vimeo to convert the video and Photo Story to render the video and me to type this second post.
Meaning this is all inclusive time, here. I am not pulling punches or shaving time off just to make it seem like this was not a big deal. I started taking pictures at 6:20 p.m., and Vimeo is showing me the video in the window right now at 6:40. 20 freaking minutes!
And here is the link, just in case as well. http://www.vimeo.com/1312528
20 minutes, start to finish. This is absolutely possible to do in the classroom.
You may want to look into using AuthorStream for something like this too. If you have problems that your sharing with a class using Power Point, you can record a narration and upload it. It’s like SlideShare but with easy audio. AuthorStream turns your PP into a video that you can upload to YouTube or subscribe to in iTunes. I’ve started using it on my Edublogs site for my presentations. The embeds aren’t showing up in IE for me right now though. I’m not sure if it’s just my computer though. http://www.authorstream.com
