For this assignment, I first decided on a children's book to read. I recorded myself reading the book "I Am Sick" using my iPod Touch. I then transferred the video from my iPod to my computer using Windows Live Photo Gallery. Afterward, I uploaded the video to Youtube, and then I embedded the Youtube video to Wikispaces. In a nutshell, I created a short video using an iPod Touch, copied the file to my computer, uploaded it to Youtube, and then embedded it in a wiki.

In order to complete this assignment, I first chose a topic. Since I'm entering Secondary Education with a major in English, I decided to use a popular Shakespeare play often covered in high school for the basis of my PowerPoint. I then planned out each slide of the presentation. Because English classes are often based around discussion, I tried to involve the "students" wherever possible. From there, I used Microsoft PowerPoint to create the project, revising my original plan as I saw fit. All pictures and data used were properly cited. I uploaded the presentation to Slideshare.net, which then generated a code I used to embed the final PowerPoint presentation to Wikispaces.

After creating a PowerPoint presentation, it was time to add audio narration. In order to do this, the presentation was uploaded to ProfCast, a program that allows users to add a voiceover to PowerPoints. Using a headset, I recorded myself as if I were "performing" my presentation to a class. After it was exported from ProfCast, I uploaded the video to Youtube. From there, I embedded the video into Wikispaces.

In order to create a Podcast directed to Governor Rick Snyder, I had to first complete a bit of online research. Afterward, I wrote out my Podcast with proper citations included. Appropriate music was decided upon. I then recorded the Podcast using the program Audacity. After editing the recording, I added the music. The final Podcast was then exported as an mp3 and uploaded to Wikispaces.

For this assignment, I decided to tell the story of my vacation. First, I planned out all of the images I would use to tell the story. Afterward, I found an appropriate piece of music to accompany the tale. Finally, I wrote out all that would be included in my narration. Now that it was planned, I imported all of the needed pictures and music to the program. I used a microphone to create the voice over. I then exported the video and uploaded it to Youtube. I embedded the final product to the wiki.

For this assignment, I had to use my iPod Touch to take a picture. I transferred the picture to the computer, and I was then able to upload the photo to Wikispaces. Additionally, I explored the creative commons of the photo-sharing website Flickr. Once I found an image I liked, I copied its HTML code and embedded it in the Wiki. After crediting the pictures to the appropriate owners, I created a sample assignment based upon the image embedded from Flickr.
