ICT 1 on 1 with Lyn

Today I learn some tricks...

http://vidtomp3.com
converts video clips such as YouTube and saves the audio as an mp3. It has been downloading for the past 10 minutes (make that 20mins now) and it still isn't ready. Has anyone else had any luck with this site? I also question whether it is legal? (downloading songs without paying for them- doesn't sound quite right!)

You can upload audio files and embed them into your blog check it out:

I had my kids' ad they made in Garage Band exported into iTunes. It gets saved as an m4a file. But the div share only liked mp3 for embedding so I had to convert the file.

Teacher Only Day Reflection

My highlight of our cluster TOD has to be listening to Tony Ryan's Keynote. There are so many things to think about. He is such a positive person and I definitely think starting your day positively and thinking positively can and will make a difference. I'm going to give this a go (even though I struggle getting up on cold Winter mornings). I've read his book, The Ripple Effect, which is all about this. I also liked the idea of taking a photo of your key learning for each day. I'd like to do this too, but I'm taking little steps and focusing on one thing at a time. At the moment I'm trying to get my class blog up an running.
