Creative Writing

noreply@blogger.com (Anica) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:05:00 +0000

PicLits.com is a creative writing site that matches beautiful images with carefully selected keywords in order to inspire you. The object is to put the right words in the right place and the right order to capture the essence, story, and meaning of the picture.

Images

Choose any image to create your PicLit—a photo plus words—by clicking on it from the carousel at the top of the home page or using the image featured on the home page. You can speed up the carousel by holding your mouse over the arrows at either end. If you would like to see all the carousel images at once, you can click on the "SEE MORE" link on the right side of the carousel.

Drag-n-Drop

If you need some extra inspiration for creating your PicLit, you can use the Drag-n-Drop customized keywords underneath the photo, kind of like refrigerator magnets.

To create your PicLit, hold your cursor over any keyword or universal word.
Click and hold to select the word.
Drag the word to where you want it to be on the photo.
Unclick to place the word.
Once a word is placed on the photo, you may select capitalization and conjugation options from the drop-down arrow.
If you change your mind about a word, you can just drag-n-drop it back into the keyword list.
A keyword may only be used once in a PicLit. Universal words and punctuation may be used multiple times.
If you want to erase all the words and start over, simply click on “New PicLit” on the right-hand side.
When you are satisfied with your PicLit, click on the “Save” icon to save it to your account and have it appear in the Gallery. You can also email your PicLit to a friend or post it to your Facebook profile. In order to save or post a PicLit, it must have words on it.

Freestyle

If you would like more freedom with the creation of your PicLit, you can click on the Freestyle button to access the same picture with a text box where you can type anything you choose.

Use your space bar and Enter key to position the words in the text box where you want them to appear on the photo.
If you want to erase all the words and start over, click on “New PicLit” on the right-hand side.
When you are satisfied with your PicLit, click on the “Save” icon to save it to your account and have it appear in the Gallery. You can also email your PicLit to a friend or post it to your Facebook profile. In order to save or post a PicLit, it must have words on it.

MacNed 2008 Wordle Gallery

noreply@blogger.com (Anica) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:13:00 +0000

This gallery of images was created from the students written assignments at the MacNed wiki,

I used it to compare and assess the Macedonian and the Dutch student draft pages. Informative indeed.

To pre-teach new vocabulary on a certain topic just throw out a reading text, and wordle creates a fine- looking image with the key concepts of the theme. I did a lesson on " Is honesty always the best policy?" Wordle works in any language.

Teachers need such tools, though I feel my students would have benefited more if Internet had worked at my school and they could do this themselves.

Hoping for faster bandwidth, which I doubt will happen soon.

How to Embed YouTube Flash Videos in Your PowerPoint Presentations

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

YouTube is considered to be one of the world's most popular online community. YouTube is known for its fast video download rate, making it the number one choice for presenters when it comes to the video aspect of their presentations.

Steps

Play YouTube Flash Video Online in PowerPoint with Internet Access

In PowerPoint 2003 and earlier versions, go to View -> Toolbars -> select "Control Toolbox". In PowerPoint 2007, go to PowerPoint Options -> Popular -> tick "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon".
In the Control Toolbox, click the last icon "More Controls" which is displayed as hammer plus wrench. In the set of controls available on your computer, select "Shockwave Flash Object". Then use your mouse to draw and resize an area in the slide as you like to place your YouTube video.
Go to the YouTube video page you'd like to add, and check the URL in the address bar of your Web browser. You'll get an address like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4 Change the phrase watch?v= to v/, and now the address become http://www.youtube.com/v/hChq5drjQl4
Right click the area you drew which is displayed as a big cross, select Properties and go to Properties tab. Copy and paste the YouTube video address in the field as value of attribute Movie; set the value of attribute Playing and Loop to False. Close the Properties tab when everything is done.

Get YouTube Flash Video Offline and Add To Presentations
When you don't like the live YouTube video way, which requires live and reliable Internet connection, you may download YouTube video to your hard drive, and insert the video into presentation offline. It's also very easy to make in a few minutes.

Go to the YouTube video page you'd like to add, and check the URL in the address bar of your Web browser. You'll get an address like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4. Then try some online services like KeepVid or other offline tools to retrieve and download the original Flash video file from the address. Rename the downloaded YouTube Flash video file from "get_video" to "xxx.flv" as you like in FLV format.
Now you need to decide in which format of YouTube Flash video you'd like to add in PowerPoint presentation. If directly inserting the Flash video in FLV format, you have to ensure the FLV file could be properly played back at first. It's recommended to install VideoLAN VLC media player to play YouTube Flash video files in FLV format.

Find the hidden Control Toolbox out in PowerPoint and go to "More Controls" as the way in the first steps of online YouTube section above. Select "VideoLAN VLC ActiveX Plugin v1/v2" in the set of controls available, then draw and resize the displayed area with mouse in the slide as you like. Right click the area you drew and go to Properties tab, and complete the value of attribute "MRL" with the path of the YouTube Flash video file, like D:\Temp\2008\temp.flv, then close the tab. Now the YouTube Flash video in your hard drive is ready to play in the presentation.

--- Insert YouTube Video As Common Video

Besides, you may also try to convert your YouTube Flash video in FLV format to other common video format like AVI, MOV, etc with some online services such as vixy.net or other offline video conversion tools. Then you can directly insert these converted video in your hard drive via "Insert Movie from File" in PowerPoint.

--- Insert YouTube Video As SWF Flash Movie

Generally speaking, to avoid video codec problem with different computers, and ensure the properly video playback in PowerPoint, Flash video in FLV format and other video formats is not recommended to be inserted in PowerPoint. Based on the popularity of Adobe Flash player, which is widely installed on most computers in the world, Flash movie in SWF is highly compatible cross-platform and properly played back. You may try some video to Flash conversion tools, such as WebVideo Author, to convert FLV or other video formats to SWF format.
The Flash movie file in SWF format could be inserted into PowerPoint presentation as "Shockwave Flash Object" in Contorl Toolbox like the way in the first steps of online YouTube section above. And you can embed the SWF Flash file in your presentation through setting the attribute "EmbedMovie" to True in Properties tab.
By the way, some presentation authoring tools, such as PPT2Flash Professional (http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash-pro.html), Articulate Presenter, offer the shortcut to insert SWF Flash files quickly, and finally output the PowerPoint presentation with YouTube Flash video as Flash movie in SWF format. Flash-based presentation is kind of great solution to avoid compatibility issues from video codec, PowerPoint versions and operating systems, and easy to make Web compliance.
Maybe the total guide for YouTube video in PowerPoint is a little of complicated for everyone. Google's PowerPoint killer in Google Docs is highly expected to add the feature to add YouTube video in online presentation instantly, if Google really wants to be the killer. After all, YouTube is a great video treasure for everyone, we can make better use of it with our works and life.
