Do you find that the WeberTube video is too small when you embed it to a website or blog?
Here's how you can change that; I've also displayed different examples of sizes of the same video here.
This Mimio application will let you record video of your actions on the mimio. This will also record audio if you have a microphone plugged in.
This will show how to make screen annotations, and how to retrieve and save them in different formats.
What's this craze about Twitter? You might see a lot of websites having a twitter icon nowadays. A lot of skeptics thought it would soon die out a few months after launching, but Twitter and Facebook are the largest social sites on the internet, known for "Micro Blogging".
Here's a 2-1/2 minute video to get you started.
Mimio has a great online community where you can view, download, upload, and even discuss Mimio files.

This lesson can only be used if you have installed Mimio Studio.
With this lesson you can drag the clock hands to display the correct time, and test if you are right.
Here is how to edit or create additional grade scales, and then how to choose which one to use for your class.
Here is a Mimio lesson download. This sample shows how you can display questions or clues on one side, and they can be drug to the right side to reveal the answer. For this example, drag the word "wouldn't" to the right side.
The secret is the two different text colors, exactly opposite of the background color. You can double click the objects to edit them.
If you like what you see and would like to edit it as your own, copy the slide and paste it into your own Mimio file.
This file will only open in Mimio Notebook.
I've had a few questions on this. Some of you are Double Clicking on attachments and having a hard time seeing them. Go ahead and Right Click on it instead, and Open.
Hi Teachers, a common question I hear is "What's the difference between a Post, Page, Link, or Category?" I'm hoping this 3 minute video will help explain the answer.
I'll summarize just in case you don't have time to watch the video:
Posts are your most common task in a Blog. A post is your journal, or log, such as what the assignments were this week in class. A student or parent could access this at home and keep up, or prepare for next week's agenda.
Pages are more of a long term item, such as displaying your Class Disclosure, Class Fees, what to expect from your classes, etc…. You can also create a separate page to display your latest posts if you do not want them on your Home Page. This is called a "Static Home Page". Info on that here: http://blog.weber.k12.ut.us/jumcfarland/2008/09/19/set-a-static-page-for-your-blog/
Links are useful resources for your students that are elsewhere on the internet, such as your Online Classroom, other websites relating to your class material, their student webaccess mail…
Categories are chosen each time you write a post, so you can "categorize" and group your posts together, perhaps for each of your different classes. With this, your "English III" students will visit your blog, click on the English III category, and filter all of the posts addressing their class.
