Wiki's, Review, and Embeding

This week we are going to spend a little more time on Wikis, reviewing any topic that you may have questions about, and embeding. Embeding is the process of taking something (like an image, a video, or an icon) and posting it on your blog or Wiki.

Check out the following websites to find things to embed on your Wiki or Blog:

http://www.rockyou.com/ - create cool titles, slide shows, and more
http://www.playlist.com/ (you will have to access this one from home)
http://www.teachertube.com/ - find educational videos that you could use with your students
http://www.scribd.com/ - share worksheets with students. The embeded code provides you with options to print, share, and email the page.

How to Embed
1- Find the object you want to embed. On a website you are using look for the “embed” code.
2- Copy the code
3- Open the dialog box in your blog or Pageflakes
4- Paste code
5- publish
