DONE!

This, unfortuanely is my last post on my blog. Overall, I had a great time expanding my horizons on the aspect of technology. I'm sure that I will use a lot of these different programs in the future. My favorite project was by far the photostory project. It allowed me to tell other people about me and I've used the program before. After all the hard work that I put into this class, I sure hope that I get an excellent grade. I feel that I really busted my hump for myself, my team, and my fellow classmates. I'm sad to see this end, but hopefully, I can teach these kinds of programs in the near future. See Ya!

Week of Nov. 22nd

This week, we finally finished our video of "The Adventures of Robbie the Recycling Bin". Here is the link.

It's a really cheesy video but we had fun with it. Also, my partner Thad and I worked on our chapter reading. We had chapter 8 which is "Diagrams, Maps, and Webs." This was a pretty easy assignment, we went through the book and just pulled out important information. We then made it look really nice and it is currently on my website. Feel free to look at it!
Next week we have our collabrative blog, and website due. This should be fun. I'm excited to make another website! Have a good Thanksgiving!

Nov. 15th-19th

This week in class, we started working on our movie maker production. Since our project is recycling, we decided to use a recycle bin travel all over the world to see if everyone is recycling. Its a really neat project and I can't wait to see the finished product. We also just finished up out podcasts. They are both located on my website http://www.student.lhup.edu/tkoser/. We also got a chance to talk with Professor Hossain today through Skype. It was good hearing her voice again and it was great that she asked how we wer doing. I look forward to putting the final video of "Robbie the Recyling Bin" on my blog sometime next week.

Nov 8th-12th

This week in lab, we finally finished up our collabrative concept map. It is now posted on our group blog. The link will be posted at the very end of this post. Also, I finally got my photostory done last week and you will be able to see it now. This week in the lab we started talking about Audacity and Movie Maker. I am familiar with Movie Maker because I used it in high school for projects. I am, however, interested working more with Audacity. It seems like a really cool program and I can't wait to start using it. My website is also starting to come together the way I want it to. If you are interested in seeing my website, the link will be at the end of the post along with the link to our collabrative blog.

October 23-29

This week I was able to complete my poster project in Microsoft Publisher. It took me some time but I finally got it the way I like it (it will be attatched at the end of the post). Also I am getting ready to finish my Digital Story Telling project that is made by the Photo Story 3 program. I've used Photo Story before so the program itself and the technology are not new. Photo Story is a great way to make a quick video using still shots and other pictures. Look for it to be posted sometime next week. I hope it turns out great! Also, I really enjoy the freedom of not having a set "class". I feel that this will really help me in the future as an educator because you have the responsibiltiy of doing things on your time. I feel that this is a great chance for me to improve those skills.

Microsoft Publisher Lab

Microsoft Publisher Logo

This week in lab we worked with the program Microsoft Publisher. We will use this program to complete our group project. I wasn't aware of all the different things you can do with Publisher. I have worked a little bit with Publisher in the past but not very much. This was a refresher in some ways and in other ways it opened my eyes to new projects that I can do with this program. The best part is that not only do you get to express yourself anyway that you want, but it is very simple! I was shocked of how easy it was that I could throw in some information and then have it turn out to look so professional. I feel that this program will definately be of use to me in the future. I can make business cards, posters, booklets, and so much more. I look foward to using this later on in my classroom and my overall career.

Google Docs-Lab #3

Today we learned how to use Google docs. The link to Google docs is below.
Instead of sending emails with attachments, this is a quick and easy way to send email docs instead.  Everyone that you invite can look at the document, comment, edit, and also chat with others that are viewing the domument.  In the end we made our profile info into a booklet. as you can see in my picture. I think that Google docs is very innovative and is much more safer than sending regular emails with attatchments. It is also more convienient and much more organized. I think that I will definitely use Google docs in the future.

Here is the link for Google docs.
