Hello everyone. Last week, after Rhett, Andrew and I held our mini book club, I had a great idea. Instead of boring everyone with a long post of what I learned, I wanted to post a sound note to my blog for everyone to listen to. Simple, right??? I don't think so. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out but I couldn't figure out a way to create a link to hear my sound clip directly to my blog so I posted it another way.
The following is a list of the steps I took in order to post my
sound clip (commentary about The Count of Monte Cristo) to my blog:
- Create a sound note.
- Try to upload sound clip straight to blogger (Failed)
- Create a movie using Windows Movie Maker (Upload the sound clip and a picture/ slide show/ or actual movie)
- Once the movie has been created, upload the movie to YouTube.
- Embed the recently uploaded YouTube video into your blog.
Even though it was a more complicated process than I was hoping, I feel like I became more digitally literate because of this experience. I learned how to use Windows Movie Maker and how to upload a video to YouTube. Pretty cool stuff. More information on these great tools to come.
One time I had a problem with sending a sound clip in an email attachment that was too large so i uploaded it as a google doc and sent it out that way :)
ReplyDeleteOne approach I use is stick the file(s) into a shared dropbox folder on my computer and simply include the link to your file. Here's my post to what dropbox is: http://pucksonice.blogspot.com/2010/09/dropbox.html
