Common Video Files

We can load videos in different format such as: mp4, m4v, mov, mpg, flv, avi and wmv. And each one of the format have different sizes for the same video. For example, in my multimidea class the bumblebee video saved on this different format had six different MB sizes. Using mp4 and m4v the format was 1.63 MB; using mov the format was 8.10 MB; using mpg the format was 12.40 MB, that was the biggest one. Also, using flv the format was 5.01, avi was 12.00 MB and wmv used 8.28 MB. The smallest one was the mp4 and m4v. With this information you can decide which one is the best will fit you. On my opnion the worse quality of image was the avi format and the best image format was mov. If you like to check out go to multimedia class week 4.

Snagit vs Screencast-o-matic

Snagit is a software that we can capture images; so, is Screencast-o-matic. One difference is that snagit is not a free software and Screencast is free. Both are good softwares to set up students handouts or staff development handouts, because we can record ourselves and walk people through their assignment.

Veoh free video web

The web site is not user friendly; took me a long time to find where I should go to load a video. I had to go to the end of the page to find my video, and that was the place that I went to load my video. The web site ask if the video should be block for kids, if have nudity or could be available to anyone. The site provide TV Shows, Movies, Music and Channels. You can go to veoh to check it out.
The website support different types of file formats such as: wmv, Quicktime and DIVX. It is free of charge to sign up and allowed you to load maximum of 1G to your account.

Sound Learning

It a website that provide instructions in different subjects...easy to download and they are free but they ask for contribution in case u like the information and like to help the institution. Their subjects are: History & Civics, World Religion, Language Arts and Science & Health. I think have a lot good source of information on this site.

music, ringtones and others downloads

I did like the sounddogs.com but you have to register and pay to download sounds on your phone or other system. It is a little hard to navigate. I want this ring tone...

It is a very interesting picture. My first idea was a Hispanic painting and not part of a mammals treemap.
