So I'm in the middle of my Movie Maker Project this week. It should be done by Thursday, I'm just not gonna make it on Tuesday. After looking at what I have and what I want to say with my project I don't really think I'm gonna have much actual video. It's only gotta be a minute long and mine's not going to last much more than that. So far I've got about 30 seconds of video shot and I think I'll have 30 seconds more done tonight. Not a lot, but I'm going with a commerical so it's not going to be super long. I finally got my first video to play picture and sound, now I just hope I can get it all saved in the file on my "stick" so that it will play correctly in class. Cross you fingers!
This project has been a lot of fun. I think it's going better than PowerPoint, even though I've had some hiccups. I don't really have many people in this area that want to be in a video, but I'm making it work. I think I like the Movie Maker program but having worked with Final Cut Pro it's a little dissapointing. But I think it's better to get use to working with FREE programs now because when you have a program that comes with your computer for free why would a school spend money on buying a different one? I just wish the audio had two lines to make the narration and music easier. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has put together. It should be a fun time in class on Tuesday for the first round of videos.
I am really enjoying the focus-on projects in class. I haven't seen a lot of this stuff and I'm learning a lot. I'm trying to go home and try out what I can. The Voki was awesome. I couldn't get the toondoo to work on my computer. I think it was too much for my internet connection at home. I'm gonna try it at school where I can get a better connection. Although by far the best thing I've seen is the "clickers!" I think that would be awesome in any school! I've never seen them, I'm not sure if they have anything like that in the Davenport District. You'd think that the AEA would have them. I really want to see them used with one class I worked with in particular, all day every day. The iPod Touch was nice, but I just can't afford something like that on my own. How is a school gonna buy those with a limited budget? I can't wait to see what everyone has for this week.
Get a Voki now!
