Brain Rules Chapter 3 Notes

Okay, so I downloaded Powernote (by Diigo) to my phone and I was going to use the speech note to record my thoughts and post it to the blog. Epic fail. First, it's speech to text, so it wasn't exactly what I thought. Second, it did an absolutely terrible job of converting speech to text, it does it slowly, and only catches a couple words at a time. Maybe handy for a grocery list, but not for my purposes. So, I went back to the web and found www.voicethread.com. This was a new technology to me, but was intrigued because you can have several people commenting on the same image or video, etc. at the same time in different ways. So what I did was upload the picture you see below, and then used each one of the features to flesh out my notes. I can see this being very helpful in a group project, but also in an individual project. If you were making notes to yourself as you went along. Can't wait to have the time to play with it more. The first recording, was just me talking into my speaker, the second was using my phone (yes, voicethread called me, but I only had three minutes to talk), the third note was text, and the final one was supposed to be video, but couldn't get it to work. (I didn't try for very long though).
 Enjoy!
