MAP Elevator Speech

2/25 TB We need to decide on a Web 2.0 tool to use for our elevator speech. Do either of you have a "good" speaking voice. Personally, I hate mine!! It sounds great in my head but what others hear-YUCK! :) I know that Colleen has used many different tools before do you have one that you think will work best for this assignment? Tracy

2/26 AW Yes, I agree. I think everyone thinks their voice sounds weird when they hear it. Colleen has done a lot with Web 2.0 projects. I absolutely love her animoto. Maybe she could teach us how to do that unless it is too difficult. I remember her saying it took her like 8 hours to do. Ashley 2/29 CG Animoto is pretty simple, but Goanimate is what took me 8 hours. The next one wouldn't take as long. However, we'd probably have to meet at TWU library and work on it together! :) The kids really like it too and if we make them our primary audience, it will be a great product of persuasion!

3/2/12 AW Colleen, you're right. Couldn't remember the name of it. :) I think that is a great idea. When do you guys want to meet? I would love to learn how to do the Goanimate!!!! :)

3/27/12 TB Where in the world is semester disappearing to? I am finally finished with my Portfolio so ready to concentrate on all other tasks at hand. I would also love to learn GoAnimate. I am willing to meet up whenever. I have to visit the Frisco Library this weekend for another class. I have off on Friday, April 6th. I know that is Easter weekend so you may have plans. I'm also avaliable any other weekend or a week night if we need it.
