Definition Of Words

In English class, we were reading a book called 'Three Cup of Tea'.  Our teacher told us to find five words that I don't understand, here are the five words:

• Slabs - it means a very flat thick piece of stone.  Slabs is describing the stone.
• Burgundy - it is actually a place in France.  Does not really have a meaning because it is a place. 
• Tarnished - it means something that is silver and it comes from a very old place.
• Smoldering - it means that you are smoking but burning slowly with it but using no flame.
• Gasoline - It does not have a meaning but it a type of fuel that maybe you will use for cars. 

Tarnished                                                          Smoldering                               Gasoline

Slabs 

I can't Find the picture of Burgundy.  These are the words that I don't understand, Hope the definition help you learn something.  Check the dictionary for the words that you don't know.

Podcasting

In these few weeks, we learnt about podcast.  Podcast means a audio folder but is not a radio but you can download it on to MP3 and others.......  
This is some step that you may cover in the future:

1. To find a podcast it can be any thing For example: annoying orange I used someone's blog to put the podcast to a link, this is the link that I used:http://zhdrocks.blogspot.com/ Click on the 'Link' to see more.

2.Then you will see a very small sign click on it  it looks like a orange square with white  a half a circle and a small white dot in it and it called the RSS feed button.

3.Next copy the feed link by doing command 'c' after clicking it then there will be a link this was my link:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/AnnoyingOrange.

4.Go to google to search for google reader then click on this link:http://www.google.com/reader/view/?utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-ww-ww-bk&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=google+reader#overview-page

5. At the top left there is a thing called 'add a Subscription' click on it then paste the link that you just copy by doing command 'v', for example:http://feeds.feedburner.com/AnnoyingOrange.

6.After when you finished click on the 'add' button and magic comes, listen to the podcast and enjoyed it, you can keep on add lots and lots of podcast as many as you want.

Hope these in formation helped you try and follow the steps enjoy!

Wordle

We needed to embed wordle to our blog it was very hard at first but if you learn more.  Wordle it's quite cool because if your class teacher told you to do a reflection you can do a wordle it's easy and quite but don't always create a wordle sometimes you also needed to do some writing.
