Grade 7's - Time to Blabberize!

By now, you have had a lesson on finding images on the web that are:

1. the appropriate size for this project - between 300 and 800 megapixels
2. copyright free - either from Creative Commons or other sites that show you have permission to use the image
3. able to be saved to a place on YOUR hard drive that you can find again. :)

Remember. 
Open an image by clicking on it and having it open in it's own tab
Click on "View Image"
Once the image opens up:
Right click 
Click on 'Save picture as' 
Click on "Computer" on the left hand side of the pop up box 
- find the blue line with your username above it and click on that 
Open "My Documents" or "My Pictures" depending on what you are saving 
GIVE THE FILE A NAME** - like 'Dear Diary image' 
- and click "Save"!

Your pictures will be waiting for you on any machine in the school now, including the netbooks!

Today, it's time to import that photo you saved into a Web 2.0 tool called Blabberize.
It will make your animal share your Dear Diary entry for the rest of the class to hear. 
Next day, we'll give you some descriptive feedback about how well you covered the success criteria for this assignment!

Check out the success criteria on the wall and then click here to set up your account.

 Blabberize - Dear Diary here we go!

Have fun! 

Borrow a headset with the microphone to do this project.
You must plug it in (at the front) BEFORE you start your Blabbering!
It takes about 2 minutes for the computer to recognize the software as well!

At the end of class, wrap the cord loosely around the headset and put it back in the box at the front.
 TRES important!!!!!
