Week 4 Reflections

Multimedia and Video Technology

Reflections on: Past learning, new learning, and how this learning will impact my future lifelong learning.

This week I have been working with my group to gather the footage that we will be using to edit the video. My group has done an excellent job of geting things done in a timely manner. We have used Google Chat and Google Docs to communicate since we are all in different locations. We have also revised our script to better match the actual footage that we were able to capture.

The reading this week have helped me better understand how to use Audacity. I actually train the teachers in my district on how to use Audacity, Movie Maker, and PhotoStory. These free programs are on the image of each teacher's laptop. We really want our teachers to use these programs especially since we are a 1:1 district. I enjoyed learning more about shooting quality video. I think the tips were very helpful, simple, and easy to remember. I plan on incorporating these tips into my future trainings.
