Welcome!!!!

Welcome to Lit's Blog, where all things literary are fair game! As a middle school Language Arts teacher, one of the many things I'll be using this forum for is to share my opinions on books, both Young Adult, and otherwise, that I've recently read, and hope that you'll jump into the fray with your thoughts, as well! Please visit often, as I'll be adding regularly. Just scan the titles of each blog for the book's name, and let me know what you think!

(Parents: At the end of each blog, you'll find a "book rating", based upon the MPAA ratings (see link entitled "MPAA Ratings Guide"). Since I generally try to read whatever the kids seem to be reading, and encourage my students to read a wide menu of texts, do not be surprised if you see an "R" rating on a title, or two. I will do my best to be as accurate as possible - HOWEVER, this rating is intended only as a guide. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether your child should read the titles listed, or not.)

Thing #21 - Adventures in Podcasting! Ready to SCREAM! Part II

I know this seems like I'm perseverating on this (and I am - it's 5:05, and I am still in my pajamas, and have permanently grown into my couch at this point). I searched all the graduates' blogs, but didn't find anything other than a lot of very cheerful (grrrrr!) posts regaling pod and vidcasts, and how easy they are to do. Being the stubborn one that I am, I decided to try creating a new Photostory with an actual photograph, to see if that made a difference - which it did! Sooooooo - I'm going to try to just photograph the Powerpoint slides I made, save those into Photostory as pictures (even though I saved the Powerpoint slides as .jpeg files), and go that route. In the meanwhile, if any of you Kickball Captains can advise me on how to convert those files into something that will upload through Photostory, I'd greatly appreciate it! I think I will forge ahead, though, to Thing #22.

I'll keep you informed - just don't use Powerpoint to create your podcast! Wish I'd known that before I spent so many freaking hours working on it!!!!!

I think using PPT is the key to your problem! a PPT is not a podcast!

Thanks, vwb - you're right. BUT - it's not a powerpoint file - I just created the pictures using Powerpoint, and then saved them as .jpeg files in My Photos, then loaded them into Photostory, which I assumed would translate just fine, once I saved it as a Photostory file. I assumed wrong!
