Two posts in one day........I'm on a roll!
I'm exploring my 'collection' of voice recording tools today and just wanted to embed the ones that are currently in my 'toolbox' so that next week during my workshop I can show how each individual player looks on a blog. For 'How to's' visit my 'Green for Go' Wiki.
So here goes
SoundCloud looks like this
Chirbit looks like this
Check this out on Chirbit
Audiopal looks like this (the recording below was created using the 'Text to speech option' and selecting 'Alan' the Australian.
Fotobabble looks like this (the recording below was done using the Fotobabble iPad App and choosing a 'theme')
Voicethread looks like this (this is several years old but I chose this example as it highlights text as well as voice recorded options when commenting)
Voki looks like this (this was created 5 years ago when Harry Potter first came out!)
Vocaroo still to come......

Blog versus Facebook
I have to admit, I just don't seem to be able to 'get into' this blogging thing.
I add to my Switch On NZ Facebook page almost everyday but as you can see I haven't been here since February. This led me to wonder why.......I use curation sites a lot eg Scoop it (I have 5 different 'Topics') - Scoop it cross posts to my Facebook page and Pinterest. So this multitasking ability is what I like. I need to find something that cross posts from Scoop it (and the like) onto this blog. I discovered the tool IFTTT ("If this then that') several years ago an this might just be what I am looking for. As i always say, "Just put it in the back of your mind and when you have a purpose for it, you'll be able to say - ah I think I know just the thing". Time to practice what I preach.
Tip: Be discerning with what tools you choose to link eg I use to cross post my Tweets to my Facebook (personal one) and as I use Twitter for professional PD and have taken a great deal of time over the years to strengthen my personal learning network, I then barraged my friends and family via facebook with teaching and learning 'stuff' they weren't remotely interested in. Yes, I know there is a 'grey area' as many friends are also colleagues but this is unavoidable in making and strengthening connections through life.
I'm off to explore IFTTT.
