web 2.0

There were a lot of really cool web 2.0 things like on facebook and blogs. The things that I found to be most beneficial for me as a student and for my future students are the encyclopedias that are available. Even though wikipedia isn't the most reliable it is very handy. There are other encyclopedias that are on the web that do cost money but they are the most updated and correct information. This helps students to be able to easy find information and for me as a teacher that will be teaching about the human body and best things for it can always have updated and correct information.
I am trying really hard to think of ways facebook applies to education but I cant really think of much. It helps stay connected so in a way you could make a facebook page of you as a teacher and also maybe a group for your class to post things and get them interactive with the class. I think a website would probably be a little safer for this but I really don't know!

Commercial.dv

I am finally finished! It was a rougher process. Once I understood the program things were pretty easy. It was an easy program to just figure things out in which I really enjoyed. I did try to learn the iMovie 08 on my computer and it was terrible. I couldn't figure things out at all! Dan was right. I had to go to the lab which was a bummer but thats okay! I finished in the lab but I did something weird and the computer froze. I had to force quit and start over. Then I opened it on a different computer and started again and for some reason it wouldn't save. So I did it a third time and I started from scratch and it finally worked! It was frustrating but i got really good at the program and understand the basics enough. Keepvid.com was a cool website and helped me to make the video so much better, putting the music in was simple.

I really enjoyed this project and I feel like I will be able to make cool videos for my classes and it is would not take that much time. It will be harder since I only have iMovie 08 but hopefully i will update it soon and things will be more simple.

This was a great experience and I am excited to use this in the future in my class and just in my life!

iMovie

Kelsey and I filmed what we wanted to use in the commercial. We haven't really been able to work on iMovie yet but I was beginning to understand at the last class. We have an idea of music we want and we are hoping things will go smoothly as we put them together.
