PE3

As my journey into imovie continues, I am learning more and more of the options available to me in this program.  I feel that my work is showing continued signs of improvement and professionalism.  Maybe I'll be moving to Hollywood soon!....No...I better stick with teaching as my day job!

This second practical experience entry demonstrates how my skills are developing in Imovie.  I am learning to better frame my shots, use transitions and music and I am becoming exposed to various techniques which help me produce a quality, more professional looking product.

This video discusses my first experience with imovie, a program that I began using during the course of this Master's program and would love to gain more experience with.

Podbean is the latest technology that I have tried out! I really enjoyed familiarizing myself with this great tool. My school district subscribes to Podbean for teachers in the district to use to record podcasts. It is a publishing tool that helps you create professional podcasts quickly without having to have a background in programming or computer technology. It is a simple, 3 step tool that lets the user upload, publish, manage and promote podcasts in as little time as possible which really appeals to busy teachers like myself! Today was the first time I have played around and gotten to know how to use it. It is very easy to learn and offers a free general subscription to anyone, although, if you would like to use some of the advanced designs and features, you can upgrade to a premium account for a reasonable fee. I am planning on using this e-tool in my classroom daily. I would like to incorporate a program where I assign students the task of working in groups to create short reviews of what we did in class each day. On their assigned days, the groups will record their review in a podbean podcast and upload it to a link on my website calendar. This helps alleviate the problem of students missing work or lectures when they are absent and also provides a great review for tests. The student can just go to the school website calendar and click on the day they were absent or want to review and it will take them to a link to my blog and the daily podcast for that day! Easy and convenient!
