no title

Last week we spent the whole week of class in the library media center. We were working on things such as editing video and music. I had never really done any of that stuff before so again, like everything else we do in this class, I wasn't very good at it. After a day or two of it, I got the hang of it, but it was really confusing at first. I think learning how to use those programs is a big advantage for a teacher, because I will be able to make short videos for my class to watch on specific topics we will be covering throughout the year, and it will be something fun for the students to watch, rather than always looking at a book.

Also, on Friday we had to turn in 3 excel activities that we completed and we had to discuss how we could use them in our classroom. I did 3 fairly simple activities, but they all were able to be modified so that I would be able to use them in my classroom eventually.

Our next project is to make a short video with classmates, be able to edit it, and add music and sound effects to it. I am working with Mike and Adam, and our video is going to be good, Mike came up with a good idea and we all agreed that would be our topic.

  1. I agree, I am not very good at editing videos and stuff like that either. I am glad we got to do this project so that we are able to use this tool when we get in the classroom. I have really learned a lot by doing this project.
