FREE Blabberize Video Conversions Till June

No Comments »

Finally you can watch your Blabberize Full Screen (as above) upload to YouTube or Flickr, or download to your desktop & embed into a PPT…..But only till June!

from the Blabberize Blog:

Video Conversions free through June

Educators have been asking when the free test of blabber-to-video conversion ends, so that they can plan their Blabberize use around the features available.

Well, we’re not ready to release our membership features, but we can shoulder the cost of videos until June, which hopefully gets most of our educator users to the end of the current school year. So go make videos, and, if you get a second, let us know what you’re doing with them!

Ahhh Yes, the halcyon days of the FREE interweb is going away and with it we’ll get these last spurts of generosity from websites (like crack dealers giving out free hits) to get us all addicted to special features that we’ll have to pay more for in the future….Enjoy it while it lasts people!~

And though 99% of the time we can help them – how much less stressful would it be if you had solid tech tips to finish, save & print that report or assignment outside of school?

Visit our newly re-designed MHMS Learning Wiki Tech Trouble Shooting Tips page for step by step directions (with pictures!) on how to email your teacher your work digitally if you find your printer out of ink at 10pm, how to save a .DOC and NOT a .DOCX, and other great techie trouble shooting tips!

First suggestion: Email your work to your teacher! Visit the Murray Hill Middle School Website and follow the directions below (click to go to wikipage)

And giving credit where credit is due! ….I shamelessly stole borrowed ALL of these great directions bar one (the email comic of course!) from the AWEsomely talented Instructional Technology Facilitator Mr. Tony Smith of Eastern Wayne High School, NC and his blog Tech Tips for You.
Thank you Mr. Smith for your amazing ability to write great PC directions that even a Mac grrl like me could understand! YAY!
