I like to test by fire, so to see if I have set everything up correctly and all who need to see it can, I add this little tidbit:
A while back I came across http://www.xtranormal.com/ in its Beta version. I went back to the site today and tried it out. This is a 'text to movie' program that allows one to type in text, select the characters they (look like Lego people), chose from a few gestures, and hit 'play'. I created a movie! (When I create a YouTube account, I will upload it there.) It only lasted a few seconds (about four short lines for each of the two characters), but I am looking to find a suitable outcome for a project my 8th grade will be doing and this could be it. Except it isn't free.

This is great! We should have a list of new multimedia projects like this. I'll share this with the study group on multimedia and add it to my Diigo account.

Can you please add an rss feed to our class blog page, too. I forgot to ask students to do that earlier. Thanks!
