Opening video...and other Kurzweil related info :)

Hey guys,

Wow, your posts look amazing! It is really awesome to see what technology can do (and so easily!)

Here is the link to the opening activity, so that we can post it on the wiki. The clip is only 1:17



The following are the points that I am going to make during my presentation about Kurzweil. The link following is a print screen page from Kurzweil so that I can show the class what the program looks like. Can we put that link of the wiki? Also, where should we have our notes for the presentation...on the blog or I assume the wiki would make more sense? yes?
