=6/116/2009= Great job everyone!! All the grades are posted and you're all done. The wiki will remain up, so you can return here any time. Have a great summer and keep in touch, I want to hear all about how the new ways you're using technology for your personal use and how you're having your students use it.

It's come to my attention that VoiceThread is being a little finicky about the number of slides you can add audio to. If you're not too far along, keep your total to 15. If you've already finished and can't add audio, then make sure the first 15 have the audio and leave the rest - you can type up a transcript for the last slides without audio.

If this is what's happening to you embed your VoiceThread in your portfolio and then type in an explanation below it. I've added a short tutorial in the Tech Instructions on how to embed your VoiceThread in the wiki.

If there are any more issues, put add them to the Community Questions and I'll be sure to address them as soon as I see them.

Hi everyone - most of the grades are up. As part of your group project grades, I need peer evaluations. Go to your Group Page and you will find a Google Form. Complete it for each of your group members - you will need to do it twice since all the groups have 3 members. Once I have everyone's evaluations will be able to post the grades. You can also right click and open this URL in a new tab or window: []

You can create your own at []. Hopefully it's all there and totally free. Please let me know in the Community Question area if it's not. First create your script; divide it into natural breaks and load those in separate sections. You can change camera angles (which is what I did), choose a voice, appearance, and then publish. Have fun!
