Digital Media Site

By Anonymous -
I just finished teaching a session on digital media.  There are a lot of tools out there for creating online slideshows with your pictures.  Here is a neat site I found that is web-based and simple for students to use.

Showbeyond allows you to make a slideshow with your pictures.  You can then add titles, captions, and audio with your slideshow.  

To share your slideshow you can email it, share the link or embed it into your site.  


Here is the slideshow I made:

There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself.
