I decided to experiment with Yodio. Yodio allows people to put audio with pictures. It is basically a slideshow of pictures plus your voice.
I think this would be useful in a classroom especially with a substitute teacher. I could make a slideshow and add my voice to make sure the students would get the information I needed them to know. I think it would also be a fun activity to get to know students.
Yodio is really easy to use! After signing up, just upload pictures, call in the audio, and put them both together! I really like that it allows users to call in the audio part. It was so simple! You just call, talk, and hang up. It is then sent almost instantly to Yodio to use.
I read several other blogs before I decided to use Yodio. It seemed to be pretty popular for this assignment. I found everybody's tips to be helpful, which might be why I thought the program was so simple to use.
The hardest part was deciding what picture I was going to use and what I was going to say. I had to record my audio clip eight times before I settled for the last one! Finally, I wrote down the points I wanted to include so that I didn't forget what to say. That is my biggest tip to everyone!
So, check out my first Yodio! :)

Awesome! I too am a family person. I come from a 5 sister 1 brother family. I grew up very close to my mothers side of the family with plenty of aunts, uncles and cousins. We also had a family business that most my siblings and cousins all worked in growing up. It was an awesome experience that I would never take back.
ReplyDeleteI think this is probably the one that everyone ended up using, if not everyone almost everyone. I ended up having to write down my points because I kept forgetting what I had said and I was getting so irritated.
ReplyDeleteI love how you spend so much time with your family!. It's something I really miss doing since moving, Sunday afternoons were the best with my grandpa insisting on Italian food and sitting around the table for hours not doing anything!
ReplyDeleteI now what you mean about having to write down your points! I didn't even try to record without writing everything down that I was going to say. :]
I love it! Your family is beautiful. I tried using yodio as well but couldnt figure it out. I really had no patience today. I ended up using youtube. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda. I loved learning more about your family. Thanks for sharing why you chose Yodio. I too think that our class had so many helpful hints.
ReplyDeleteSo I need to ask - how did your family get into the pizza business?? I love pizza! I will need to stop by some Friday since I live pretty close to the pendleton pike shop!
