Digital Storytelling

HELP!!!! I created a storybird and it only gives me the option to send it to a friend.  Won't give me the option to embed.  Any thoughts that would help?

Pimp my Presentation

I did my first "Glog."  I figured that I was already "bloggin'" for the first time, so I would do another 'og.  This is what I did (see link above).  It was easy to do, but it wouldn't allow me to upload my video (HD quality may have caused this).  I think this tool would be nice to use for a basic poster to demonstrate learning in the classroom.  However, I don't see how I could use it to present information.

Blog Bling

This is a video that I use at the beginning of the school year to help my students understand latitude and longitude.  Even on the last day of school, some of my students were still singing this song. 

Until I know more about how to effectively manage and supervise a blog, I do not see myself using it for class.  However, I do feel that it would allow some of my quieter students a place to be more bold and show what they really know and/or ask the questions they don't during class.  At this point, I feel that my webpage has enough information on it.  I feel that I would get stuck in feeling like I need to be available and checking all of the time from approving comments and posting.

I really liked the KidBlog because of the ability to edit what students are commenting.  It seems simple enough for parents to use and interesting enough for studnets to find interesting.
