The web-based media pieces that wouldn't play

When I was in Sitka, there were three media pieces that didn't play well on the PC I was using (as you might recall, we could hear them but not see them). This may have been because the PC I was using did not have a Quicktime player loaded on it. Quicktime is standard issue for Macs, but not for PCs. However, it is free for Windows.

Click here if you would like to download Quicktime player for either the Mac or PC.

I promised to give you alternative ways to see these three pieces. Fortunately, they are on the web:

• School Train. Glen Bledsoe’s 4th graders created this as an alternative way to show they understood the concept of metaphor for a language arts class. They compare going to school with riding on a train; 4 minutes long.
• Fox Becomes a Better Person. Hannah’s performance combines traditional and digital storytelling; 5 minutes long.
• Epic 2015. This gives you a glimpse into a possible future. Pay particular attention to the role that podcasts play at the end of the piece; 8 minutes long.

Let me know if you have questions.
