Poetry Intro

Here is a keynote I use to introduce my poetry unit.

It works best if you click the 'ahead' tab repeatedly rather than just letting it play. There are 205 slides in it, so if you let it play, it'll take forever.

I tried to publish this right to quicktime and then upload it to blogger. It published to quicktime easily, but whenever I uploaded it to blogger, the audio didn't stay with the respective videos. For some reason, the audio began right away.

So I tried uploading the slideshow to slideshare and then embed it in blogger. It worked, though not quite as well as I wanted it to. Instead of playing the vids right in the slideshow, I had to put them in as links to youtube. But at least the video and audio play togeter - as they're supposed to.

It's my dream, and a crazy one at that, that in the future each student will chronicle their learning and work on their own blog, which I can read and contribute to - as well as other students.

Talk about a learning community.
