Feedback from Mujer, a PresentationTube user

We received this feedback from Mujer, a PresentationTube user via Give away of the day http://giveawayoftheday.com/presentationtube-22

Installed fine on PC, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit. The first “problem” is that v2.0 and not v2.2 is installed. Launching the program automatically also opens my laptop’s webcam. Make this an option, please. Having the camera (and it’s blue or red light) on is annoying, distracting and disturbing. Also, changes made to the Recording Options only apply to one session and must be reset every time the program is launched. (The changed settings might apply to only 1 recording and may need to be reset for subsequent recordings made during the same session but I only made 1 recording.) Please, also add a listing of features to your webpage. There’s little information re in what form/file formats recordings can be saved, on what needs to be done between recording and uploading.

All this being said, I like the program. It’s simple, has an uncomplicated interface and does what it says it’s going to do. I would have loved to have had this program on the computers of our Tech Lab when I was teaching. It would be good for students who were ready to move up from simple PowerPoint or Movie Maker projects.

Flickr

While there are tens of photo-hosting applications on the Web, one of the most innovative is Flickr. Flickr is a photo management and sharing online application that provides a place to share photos and meet people with similar interests, even if photography is not their focus. Using Flickr, users can upload, download, tag, rate, and c om ment on photos. Users can manage and organize images, and create private or public groups to cultivate a sense of c om munity.   Flickr offers a vast collection of images that are not available elsewhere, and its collaborative tools have made it popular in higher education. Flickr contains imagery that can be used in teaching to help develop visual literacy skills. University instructors have begun using Flickr images in their courses to share, critique, and analyze visual information. In addition, the design of Flickr intentionally promotes the development of community. The ability to engage users in a conversation about a photo, and to u...
