EDLD 5363 Multimedia Video Technology Week 3

We spent week three prepping with our group about our team video project. We decided to do 6th Grade Science TEK 6.2B and the Scientific Investigation Process. Each team member had a role to play with me doing the editing and shooting of the final video part. This was a really good experience since I have never done this before. I have turned my garage into a studio and have set it up to run a green screen application on the video. This will truly be a new experience for me, one that I hope to do in the future with my students. This week will be the shooting phase of the video. I hope this turns out the way I want it to. The web conference was good. It answered a lot of questions about the assignment and discussed areas we had not thought about. It gave us a few ideas about how to make our project better. We took those ideas and ran with them. Our final product should be one of the better ones. I have a great team to work with.

EDLD 5363 Multimedia Video Technology Week 2

This week's assignment was easy once the directions were clearly understood.  We were given the assignment to create a podcast about a free video editing software found on the net.  The guidance was not clearly given on purpose so that we would have to collaborate with our fellow students to figure out what was expected.  After a great gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, I finally figured out the assignment.  I made a podcast about iMovie and how a general overview of the program was done.  I now know that I have to give clear guidance to my students when assigning a project.  This was a valuable learning experience for me.

EDLD 5363 Multimedia Video Technology Week 1

This week’s assignment was a great event.  I got to work with iMovie for the first time and then produced my first movie.  The movie was entitled “All About Me: Clements’ Family Military Heritage”.  It was about my family’s military heritage for the past four generations.

            Luckily for me, my district was conducting a Computer Tech course week for teachers and administrators.  One of the courses offered was iMovie.  I took this course and got a good general background of how to use the program.  Then I played with it, making mistakes and corrections until I got the final product to where I wanted it.  It was not perfect but this is to be expected.  The purpose of this course is to learn and experience new technology.

            This class has been very enlightening for me.  This is a subject that I have wanted to learn so I can use it in the classroom.  I am hoping that we will be able to do more with the programs and put them to other uses.  This is going to be a very exciting class.
