PixiClip Attempt

PixiClip is the video tool I am most disappointed with. It is touted as being a good alternative to having an interactive whiteboard. You combine images you create or upload, with pencil and marker drawing, text, and sound or video. I did not upload an image. Instead, I chose the pencil tool, and drew a very sad depiction of "over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go". I don't draw well, to start with, but trying to draw with a mouse and PixiClip made me feel like I was in kindergarten. I was not able to add my voice to the image, for some reason. The tool was very frustrating. A search of google images showed it being used successfully with uploaded problem images, that kids would then solve, using PixiClip tools. That seems like a much better use than actually trying to draw an image with the tools! I guess this could be good for Pictionary using vocabulary words, etc. Here is my very sad attempt.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more on this site! And, yet I applaud your attempt. Maybe, with the right tools it would be more user-friendly. But, at this point in time, I need ease of use and time saving features.
