Just a test to see how easy it is to post from Word. I’ve entered my page details and log-in details. Let’s try to add a picture –
Add I’ll review how this looks. If this works the main benefits would be to input Smart Art and Shapes to blog posts.

Sometime last week I came across Mediamaster. I was looking for a way of embedding mp3s in my portal page and had a search through Google. I came across Imeem first – this allowed me to embed a widget that would play back an mp3. This would have been fine except the file I loaded wouldn’t play when embedded. With so many free tools out there, if it doesn’t work first time I frequently move on to the next thing.
Mediamaster worked first time – always a bonus. What I liked was the simple way I could upload mp3s and embed a widget. I was using Studywiz a lot last week and found this to be very simple in a multi-content resource. It also worked in RM’s Portal+ and PBWiki. In fact this page is the only place I’ve found it difficult to embed the widget – hence it’s not here.
Mediamaster saves the need for students to download mp3s and then play them – simply clicking on track in the widget will play it. This could be a useful tool for adding MFL content to learning platforms or portal pages. I could record myself or students talking in the target language. I could pose questions relating to the files. My iPod or memory stick with a mic could record students or myself. It becomes easy to share these files.
It would also be an effective way of sharing student performances in school.
Below is a quick tutorial on using Mediamaster with Studywiz.
