Well, after slaving away to make all six slideshows and create a google map to embed them in I discovered this entire project idea wasn't possible to achieve...at least not in any way I knew how.
My first attempt to get an embed code was to export and upload .zip files to Divshare where I then copied and pasted the embed code into the editHTML space in the description bubble on google maps (I also put it in the rich text bubble just to check).
This was a no go.
Next, I went to the Sound Slides website and uploaded all of my .zip files there to get the embed codes. These codes didn't work either!
Desperate, I turned to the one source that has always solved any problem I have ever had to face in life...google.
I found out that google maps doesn't like to easily upload videos and slideshows that are foreign because of security..so now I had to turn all of my .zip files into .mp4's and make youtube videos out of them! This wasn't the quickest process in the world so I only completed two of them to see if it would even work in the first place....it didn't.
So now here I am 12 hrs of hard, frustrating work later and I don't even have a completed final project to show for it.
Fail.

Final Project 300 Word Story
Finals week is upon us all; time to burry our faces in the books and study until we can’t possibly read another sentence right? Wrong!
Over studying and stressing all week may not result in the grades you’re aiming for. Stress can actually make it harder for your brain to learn and remember information so one of the main things you should focus on this week is to remain calm!
One interesting method that is said to help your mind relax is to try and do absolutely nothing for 3-5 minutes. Your brain needs a break from all that studying so let it rest with no stimulus so it can take that breather it disserves.
Another fun way to let your brain recharge is to set aside 15-20 minutes to do something purely for fun. Play a game, paint your nails, or Skype with a friend from home, anything to get your mind off that looming paper you need to write. After you have some fun you may find that you feel more productive and want to tackle some of the work you have piled up.
After you’ve finished up one of your many projects and given your brain a long, hard workout why not go exercise the rest of your body? It’s been proven time and time again that working your muscles and getting your blood flowing relieves your body of stress. You don’t have to go all P90X on yourself either; a simple walk or jog can do the trick, and you may find it surprising how energized and motivated you can feel afterwards.
