Hi Sue,

My Voice Thread seems to have disappeared off my page. I have had a play with embedding it again but have now found I don’t have a flash or video button anymore for editting.

Hope this query makes sense.

@Paul my mind is going. I’m thinking I email you about this. Did I? And if so did we work it out?

@Mrs Banjer Not a problem the embeds do take a bit of time to learn how to get right.

Hello Sue. I’m trying to write a post about ReadTheWeb.com One feature of the service is you “can embed it on your blog”. It works just fine to embed it on various wikis, but for the life of me I can’t get it to work on edublogs. Please tell me it isn’t hopeless. Here’s the code:

var s1 = new SWFObject(”http://www.readthewords.com/player/extmediaplayer4.swf”,”mediaplayer”,”200″,”20″,”7″);
s1.addParam(”allowfullscreen”,”false”);
s1.addVariable(”width”,”200″);
s1.addVariable(”height”,”20″);
s1.addVariable(”showdownload”,”true”);
s1.addVariable(”file”,”http://www.readthewords.com/work/output/2273_text81631AM.txt.mp3″);
s1.write(”containerrtw”);

Thanks for any help you can offer.

–Paul

Thanks Larry I’ve amended the post to link to Chris’s video and the location of videos on his blog.

Sorry Joel I also can’t get Scratch to embed – only the picture. I suggest you post the question in the Edublogs Forum as someone may have a solution.

nsdis – I’ve amended this post to include how to embed Animoto please let me know how you go. Also added my animoto on aquaculture in case your students were interested.

Has anyone been able to embed code from Animoto? I haven’t had any luck.

Scratch projects are not agreeing with Edublogs, at the moment.

Sue,

Your screenshot tutorials are, as always, excellent. When it comes to technology, though, I can never get enough training. In addition to your fine blog post, people might also find this screencast that I’ve found on Youtube that shows exactly what you show here.

You can find it at:
