I was unfamiliar with box, but it sounds like a more direct means of accomplishing what I currently do with scribd, in terms of embedding files to my wikis and blogs. One widget I absolutely rely on is the audio widget. As a Literature teacher, I find the use of audio indispensable. For example, I am able to post on our grade 10 wiki the chapters of Frankenstein. Simply find your mp3 source, i.e. http://www.archive.org/download/frankenstein_shelley/frankenstein_08_shelley_64kb.mp3 , paste into widget generator and embed. It’s great. I use this same widget for my students’ readings, poetry recitals, or commentaries. There are a few I use, mostly at widgetbox.com. .-= Troy White´s last blog ..<a href="http://theinternationalschoolteacher.ning.com/xn/detail/3664145:Topic:2034?xg_source=activity" rel="nofollow">Troy White added a discussion</a> =-.

Actually, Box.net still gives free accounts but you get the code in a different way. If you already have an account, just login and click "share". To get the html code, click "embed folder in your site".It looks a bit different from the old box.net widget. You can see an example here: http://blogs.istek.org.tr/ Best, Burcu Hello Henrick,

I've been looking into all of the things you suggested. Hopefully I'll have more time to do it in December, when classes are over and I'll be able to tweak the blog for the upcoming semester. :) Oh, just one thing. I don't think Box.net is accepting free accounts anymore. I couldn't get one last time I tried. :( Cheers, Henrick Oprea .-= Henrick Oprea´s last blog ..<a href="http://hoprea.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/reflections-post-edchat-1117/" rel="nofollow">Reflections post-#edchat 11/17</a> =-.
