web 2.0

I didn't realize that I even knew what web 2.0 was until you brought it to our attention that we in fact have used quite a few web 2.0 tools like facebook and skype.  The two that I feel that can help further my education and help me in teaching is blogger and googledoc.  Googledoc will help me stay organized, keep on track, help with grading etc.  Sites.googledoc.  I was able to make my class website and that is very helpful with teaching.  Facebook can be utilized in education by uploading your status to the cite of your teacher website or adding links that relate to education on your wall, etc.

imovie project

It was a lot of fun making these videos, especially the first one.  Thinking of ideas and what we want the final product to look like wasn't that hard.  Going to a local park I was surprised to see quite a few people there running, doing homework, playing with their kid, playing with their dog, it was awesome! I thought it was a positive project.  I definitely think ill be using this for my class. It is pretty easy to put together and it is a good way to get a message across.

Project Problems

There weren't any major problems that we came across. The only small problems we had were to figure out a time where we both could meet, and then when we did meet the cameras batteries died.  But Ashley had extra batteries, so no worries =). Using Windows Movie Maker we were able to bring together the clips we shot in the park, add a perfect song, and create our awesome video!
