StoryRobe

Download now or watch on posterous

storyrobesample.mp4 (774 KB)

I recently downloaded Storyrobe for the iPodTouch/iPhone. It’s free as a back to school offer for right now. Thanks to Robert Craven, AKA @digitalroberto on Twitter for sharing this great opportunity to download a very useful app for free.

To use StoryRobe, simply select pictures from your albums, push record to narrate, tapping next photo to change from photo to photo. After you are finished, you simply tap to publish. If you send as an email to yourself, you will have a link to a .mp4 file that can be played right in the web browser. It has tmp in the url, so I’m wondering how long this link will exist. I downloaded my file and uploaded here to posterous to just try it out.

Using Dragon Dictate and Posterous to Publish Thinking

Posted on July 11, 2010 by jstearns
What’s really amazing to me is it seems that this Dragon dictate app has gotten even better since the first time I used it. Not only did it recognized every word that I said, but it was able to spell correctly and punctuate with little effort. I can see that this would be a great application for students who have difficulty writing, but are able to dictate their work to an audio recording and have it automatically transcribed and published to a blog like Posterous.

  • What Stupid Will Get You

    • July 3, 2010 – An engaging and perfect post by Dean Shareski on the new book by Clay Shirkey, Cognitive Surplus. I just finished listening to that book, and would recommend it, especially for those that are over 30 or 35, who grew up with television as our primary source of entertainment.
    This post not only does a good job of covering the main essense of the book, but links many to of real life examples of how the internet is changing what we do with our free time, including links to several of Dean’s presentation of these ideas on Prezi and other posts.
    Something I’m going to suggest as essential readers for teachers. We need to make sure that teachers really understand this fundamental shift in the way we learn and interact. It’s the future.
