ToonDoo Doo it again - Create a Flip Book

rajendran	Wanna learn how to do a ToonBook? Here are eight simple steps.

The guys at toondoo just keep coming up with winners! This is the latest, create a flip book from your toons. Other recent additions include: Fantasy world, (witches, wizards, trolls etc) create your own characters, upload photos and now of course The flip book. Of course I like toondoo because they also support utf8 so my students can create toons too!

RTL aligned wikispace wiki for Arabic and Hebrew

Wikispaces provide free, ad-free, password protected wikis for K12 educational use.

Until now anyone needing to align their wiki from right to left (Hebrew or Arabic) had to add a special tag around the RTL text. Not any more!

With the help of Dominic Bellizi of Wikispaces, I have created a CSS template which sets a wiki up for RTL languages.

The template and help files including screencast of CSS setup are available at:
http://rtl.wikispaces.com

The above wiki is in English Language and so is not itself aligned RTL but a working wiki based on the RTL wiki CSS can be seen on the Hebrew demo/help site :
http://hebwiki.wikispaces.com

I am hoping to find the time to translate wikispaces help pages to Hebrew - any collaborators would be welcome!

Blogger in Draft - video upload capabilities

Liking to think of myself as an "early adopter" I clicked on the link to blogger in draft in my blogger dashboard and discovered that I can now upload videos, add polls and also create "enclosures", the latter is still a bit unclear to me but hey, if I can upload videos here then sounds good to me. Lets have a go this video from From The Fischbowl: http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2006/09/what-if.html

Uploading seems to be taking for ever... 21:00 21:11 21:21 21:33 going to cancel upload and try again. 00:08 - 00:17 - 00:35 - 00-41 well giving up on that video - you can see it at the above website, in the meantime lets try another.

21:35 21:37 much better probably a smaller video - yes about 9 mega smaller!
