Ongoing Google Video Chat with James Green for clarification and developing ideas. Including: - Working out how to edit, compress and upload videos on Youtube, and then embed videos into Wikispaces & Spicy Nodes. - Using Picasa, face tagging, uploading to google maps, google earth, and facebook. - Using Google Docs, sharing docs, and allowing the files to be linked to in other apps (Wikispaces & Spicy Nodes). - Using Google Maps, learning how to merge more than one map together, adding pictures, custom icons. - I Worked out how to manipulate and adjust the Google map embedding... The is an option in the link section, that allows the user to adjust how big the window is, where the window opens to in the embedded window, and how far zoomed in you have it. This proved to be a big help with our mapping activities. - Using Wikispaces, embedding objects such as videos, maps and documents, as well as manipulating how they appear on the page.

I have been helping all my Learning buddies with Google Docs a fair bit, and found that the Chat feature is very handy, especially the simplicity of the Video Chat within the browser. I also enjoyed learning from others about the 'commenting' within a Google Doc to add a note/comment to something within a Doc.

Helping Lucy with her Powerpoint presentation, and figuring out how to make the music embed into the file, and automatically play when opened... I was so happy once I solved that one! I also spent most of this morning searching Lucy's computer for her assignment Powerpoint file, taught her about how the file systems work, and how not to loose her documents in future... :(
