Wrapr.com

I learned about this site through Twitterverse and thought it was incredible! The panoramic views of some truly beautiful places around the world can be viewed right on your own blog. It’s the next best thing to actually being able to travel to these beautiful locations.

According to their website, Wrapr is a mashup between Chumakev’s Flash panorama player (FPP) and the Flickr API.

Thanks to Wrapr, some of Flickr panoramic images can be wrapped into an interactive panorama. Wrapr enables you to embed – wherever you want – this new dimension.
At the moment you can enjoy a first selection of Flickr groups, but we’re always working on it, so stay tuned.

Example of embedding document from Scribd

This is a document that was created by Dave Beard for a recent VoiceThread workshop on how to create identities for students on a teacher’s VoiceThread account. The document was created in Word with step-by-step directions along with screenshots for each step. Scribd.com is a free web-based tool that allows you to upload documents and get an embed code to post them on a blog or website. This provides a scrolling document that is viewable right on your blog without having to download the document. Scribd will also allow you to upload images created on Skitch such as annotated web pages with arrows, circles, etc. and create a new document of multiple pages that can be embedded on your blog/wikispace/web site. I’ll add an example of Skitch on Scribd in another post. Awesome tools!

Playing with adding a photo from Photo Booth

I’m attending a blogging workshop with Tony Vincent, presenter at MEC 2008 in Tempe, AZ. He just showed me how to take a photo on my Mac with the Photo Booth application, export it to iPhoto and then added the image to my blog post. Here it is. 🙂

Better Than A Test (Ukele)

Have you seen this YouTube video? I love it and it has a great message from a dad to his daughter. 🙂

Better Than A Test on Ukele
A song about standardized testing.
