Well, it seems that I do a lot of my work on this course in the middle of the night, however, perhaps it's quicker to get work uploaded! I was not able to make class tonight, but with some difficulty have gotten my video created. I had thought I would do a simple one in Movie maker, however, since my video cam is an external one, movie maker had some issues with that. I then thought I would use my son's camera to record my own video, but after getting the software loaded on my machine, it would not recognize the camera! Apparently my son knew this was an issue....forgot to tell Mom!!! So, that camera needs to go back I guess. So my third attempt was borrowing a flip camera from one of the schools. I did piece together a rather shaky video and put it together in Movie maker, but then had some more issues converting the Mpeg files to AVI....finally complete and uploaded to Teacher Tube!!! I am waiting for Teacher Tube to approve the video and then I will link it to my blog.
Yikes, I like technology, and I was getting pretty frustrated, so no wonder those educators that are a little hesitant get very frustrated with technology when it doesn't want to cooperate! Oh well, video done, check, next stop, Wiki!

I bought one of the first Flip cameras and I still use it all the time. It is so slick.
ReplyDeleteI just saw them in Superstore in Brandon for $29.99 or free with a $250.00 purchase.
