Sound in Kidpix 4

A teacher wanted to know if there was a way to add sound and have it play in a slide-show in KidPix 4.  I decided to use one of my new software applications, Jing, in order to create a how-to video for her.  The thought occurred to me that others may want to know the answer as well.  (Excuse the sound quality; I'm sitting in the media center at Sanders Elementary!)

Download the video tutorial to see how to do it.

Bad Websites

While working on the new school webpage at CHS, this "bad website" page was found.  It is a GREAT website to show what NOT to do on a webpage!!  This website is perfect to use with students to understand visual literacy as it pertains to webpages and/or graphic design.
