It's a cool presentation! But as for the choice of application, I prefer Slideshare. Not that I had much choice, actually. When i tried using VoiceThread it turned out that I had used up the three projects they allow for non-premium users while we were playing with digital storytelling tools the week before. So, my options were either to buy a premium account, or to create another account (which is a pain because I already have so many, and the only thing that keeps me from going insane is that I have the same username and password on all of them). So I said to myself: "There is always a third option". And there was one indeed. i have to admit that Slideshare is rather confusing when it comes to sync'ing audio with your slides. I actually figured it out in the end, but I have to say it took me about 15 minutes to sync my 20-second-long presentation. I'm glad that I figured the Slideshare out though, since it might be useful for my presentations in future, unlike VoiceThread, with its limit of 3 projects per account.
Elena, Thanks for sharing your experience! I was unclear that VoiceThread limits you to 3 projects per account. I will have to try out Slideshare because I think this is a really cool way to present information to a classroom and really enjoyed doing it.
Spencer, Bummer! I will have to check out the kinks. I was unaware that it was not showing up because it showed up when I voice recorded. Thank you for noticing!

ReplyDeleteHey this seemed like a great idea unfortuantly the part that you actualy talk about stays black the entire time I watch it. :(
