I enjoyed meeting everyone today at the reception. Hope you will all plan on coming to dinner Tuesday evening so we can get to know each other better and share our day's activities. If you want to go out to dinner, meet in the hotel lobby at 5:45. You can call me as well to let me know if you plan to join us or not.
Now, as for my experience today: I'm learning how to make a short video. First problem, getting compatible software with the camera's hardware. Not all cameras are compatible with Window's moviemaker software; fortunately there are free downloads if you know what to look for. I don't know if I'll be the next Stanley Kubrick, but I hope to have a film to show you on Thursday...

It's Tuesday night and I'm taking a break from learning how to use movie maker so my partner and I have something to show on Thursday. It's pretty cool. Also appreciated learning about Ning today and hope to use that in my courses as a place for students to share their ideas and info for my Geography of Tourism course in the fall. I liked your Jing tutorial, Anna, and am going to work on that one as well so I can have tutorials for my online course to show students how to submit assignments, etc. For now, I just have narrated powerpoints and I can see the Jing tutorials as a better visual aid. Maybe I'll post both and see what the students prefer.
ReplyDeleteBeing here at FSI, I feel like I just joined a marathon in progress and there are all these people way ahead of me and I won't ever catch up to them. On the other hand, there are a whole lot of runners (and walkers) behind me. Maybe it all balances itself out.
I'm certainly no expert, but if anyone just starting out wants some help with using powerpoint, Blackboard, or online basics please feel free to contact me over the summer and I'll share what I know. Best to reach me by email as I am not at school (but live nearby): E-Good@neiu.edu
