Multimedia Presentations

This is an email from PBwiki talktalking about how to use multimedia in your wiki.

"Video, audio, and chat rooms, oh my!

You can insert all kinds of multimedia applications on your wiki with just

a few clicks. Let's insert a sample photo slideshow:

1. Visit your wiki: literacylinks.pbwiki.com

(http://literacylinks.pbwiki.com/?r=6dayeduwiki)

2. Edit any page

3. While editing, click "Insert Plugin" and choose the "Bubbleshare

slideshow" plugin. Insert it and save your page.

Some of our most popular plugins:

The Calendar plugin lets you insert a shared calendar for setting dates

and milestones for your classroom/library

Chat rooms let your students or staff communicate with each other. This is

a great additional way for you and your students to collaborate

The YackPack plugin lets anyone viewing your wiki page communicate with

each other by voice. Often, one person points out corrections and the

other edits it.

Note: Upload as many videos as you want! Because of a special arrangement

with a third party, uploading your own videos won't use up any of your

storage space.

Inserting images

Inserting images is easy: While editing a page, click "Insert Image" on

the toolbar (near the top of the page). Your image will show up right in

your page. Note that your free wiki is limited to 10MB of storage space

(but that's still quite a few photos).

Remember, all of this is free with your PBwiki.

Try it out today by editing a page: literacylinks.pbwiki.com
