THERE IS NOTHING WRONG HERE

I know you have wanted to learn how to do something with a computer application; found an instructional video and then been disappointed because it went so fast you had to watch it 4 times to lean how to use the application. Or, the sound quality was so bad you could not understand most of it. Or, the images were blurry, small, or had nothing to do with the audio.

I was looking for an instructional video about how to setup student accounts on Edublogs using Google. I did find 3 videos on YouTube, but they were so poorly done I could not use them. So I decided to do it myself. This gave me a good excuse to try out VoiceThread, which I have been wanting to do for a couple of months.

I use the Print Screen function, which is on everyone keyboard (and most people don’t know how useful it is). I then wrote a script and practiced it. Next, I up loaded the image files to VoiceThread. Once I had them in the order I wanted, I started recording the audio. It took a couple of tries to get the timing correct, but once I had the general idea of how to configure VoiceThread it went well. Take a look for yourself.
