By George, I think I've got it (for the most part...)

Spent the day putting my money where my mouth is....reminds me of a joke about the big-mouthed momma frog and alligator...never mind. I was so excited to find out that I had to work through Photo Story, Audacity, Flickr, Irfan View, Power Point, Incompetech, TeacherTube, MovieMaker and a plethera of image generators. Overall, I worked fast and furiously to try to complete SOMETHING, ANYTHING that I could share. Must get rid of this perfectionist thing I have going on...anyways, I did try to post my audio file on the Learning 2.0 wiki and was unsuccesful....s-l-o-wwwwwwwwwww. Just shoot me. SO I gave up. Here is something though...just to prove that I really did something. OK. Never mind. Error in uploading. We have not had much success in uploading today :(

I started my Freshman Orientation presentation by gathering a few photos to construct a flipchart. That took a while because I wanted a mixture of backgrounds. I did find a good reggae mp3 to play in the background. So I really spent my my finding all of the components and didn't come up with a finished product. There's a partial movie, partial powerpoint, partial photostory - all saved in one file so I can pull from it to make a smashing orientation presentation.

WHEN I finish the flipchart, I'll post it here. Wish me luck.....
Toodles!
