Well, I pasted the .html, and it worked. Unfortunately, what I recorded is not audible. I must have done something wrong. Back to the drawing board.

(***NewNote - The audio DOES work; it just takes a few seconds for it to load and play. ) If you click on the link in the upper right hand corner of the voice thread window, it will take you to the "voice threads" site where you can sign in and experiment for yourselves. This would be a nice tool to use to share pictures with family all over the country. I chose to make my voicethread public so everyone could view it on my blog. However, you have the option of keeping it private, so only invited members can see what you have posted and add comments of their own.

What works amazingly well is the zoom feature! If you click into the picture, it will zoom in, and you can mouse around and look at the exquisite detail. When you click again, the picture zooms back out.

I have been experimenting with another web2.0 application called "voicethread." Thayer and Brian attended a workshop on it at the CECA conference, and Thayer brought his classes in this morning to try and get them signed up for his blog and this application. Unfortunately, we ran into a glitch in trying to get the kids set up with a gmail address which Thayer would have access to. (He made sure to get parental permission before having the kids attempt this.) Anyway, for some reason, only the first kids that set up the gmail account had any success. Something wrote to the link to set up the account, and gmail would not allow any new users to sign up. You know what they say about "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley."

I am going to paste a link to the voicethread I set up into my blog. It's .html all set up on the site. I don't embed .html very often, so I'm not sure this will work.
(***It did work, but I have embedded a smaller version that the previous one. I also made it public, so no one has to sign in to view the voice thread.)
