Talking with Barbara
 * Photo Story**
 * Remember you need to introduce software that will help kids learn
 * You should become fluent with the technology you teach with, but don't expect to know everything. The kids might learn more than you know
 * Photo Story might be good for kids who have trouble writing
 * Interesting: you can make pictures on bitstrips or comic life and put that into Photo Story
 * Podcasting can be tricky because the sound cards don't always work, but photo story, comic life and bitstrips almost **always** works
 * Using Wordle**
 * www.wordle.net allows you to insert text and find which words are the most prominent
 * Wordle then makes a really cool image of the words.
 * You can play with the words as well, so that you have random words, different backgrounds and different colours
 * I put a random text about the animal kingdom into Wordle and here's what it made. If you click on it you will go to the website where it exists.
