HOW TO ADD SOUND: The simplest way to make the sounds work on a CMS computer is to use the sound recorder function that is under accessories on the start menu. Once you use that program with the external mike to record your sound and save it (it saves as a .wav file), then go online to the website to convert videos: www.zamzar.com. Step 1) Browse to find the .wav file you saved. Step 2) Select mp3 as the format to convert to. Step 3) Put your CMS email in. Step 4) Click to convert. It will email you with the mp3 version, which you can then save onto a flash drive or onto your computer and insert that file into your SMARTnotebook activity.
