Ed Philosophy

There is nothing like something that makes one feel like a complete idiot, then all of a sudden a break through, and you are on top of the world!! I am not sure how easy it will be to do this again, but it sure was a journey to get my video posted on You Tube.
It seemed easy enough, but after figuring out Movie Maker, buying a microphone, buying a more expensive microphone, downloading Audacity, returning the expensive microphone, merging both audio and music tracks, saving the movie, and converting the file to a WMV (thanks Jason), I was finally able to finish the assignment. Only a month late tooJ My “digital grammar” definitely needs some editing on this project, but I wanted to get it finished as soon as possible.

Although this was frustrating I did learn a lot and can see the value of using something similar in the classroom. My students are a lot more tech savvy then I am and can help each other understand how things work. If not, we still have another movie to post and hopefully I will have this figured out by then. Perhaps I am five years behind in the technology department but I am catching up quickly!

Here is the linkto my video. Enjoy!
