2. Using Images and Photography I found this to be a little challenging. I think that is because of the expectations I was making for myself and what was available with the free software. I thought I was going to be like a professional photographer. When I thought of my students and what they would be capable of; I had a lot of fun editing my pictures and made a great photo album of my family with my edited pictures! There is so much in the internet world for editing! For my students we will be keeping it simple and using photobucket and picnik.

3. Using Audio and Webstreams Voicestream I decided to use voicstream in my classroom. We will Record ourselves reading different passages and books. Students will them listen as they read along This will help with fluency and inflection  Record oral notes to playback and study

4. Creating Video with Generators One word: ANIMOTO I decided to use Animoto in my classroom. We are going to take pictures of students modeling positive behavior and make a video for social skills lessons. This will be very exciting for both me and my students. Who better to model and for them to learn from but themselves 
