Tool # 3

I visited the Hill Country several times this summer. It's my absolute favorite place to be. I found this  picture on  the Flickr Creative Common site. I wish I could say I took this pic, but I didn't.

Whew! This tool took a while to complete. It took a while to find videos and pics that I wanted to use. During my search, I learned how to navigate Kid's Tube, School Tube, Teacher Tube, and Flickr. I have never used these sites before, but plan to in the future. It was also enlightening to learn which sites my students and I can use pics from without abusing copywrite laws. It took quite a while for me to figure out how to embed videos. It's actually simple once you learn how to do it. I like the American Symbol Video but I'm unhappy about where I placed it. It does not fit and part of the video is cut off and not completely visible. These are one of the things I plan to tweak. Hopefully I will have fixed this issue by the time most of you view it.
