Day 2 - Essential questions and Story Boards
Today I learned more about Blogging! Last week I never dreamed of blogging and now I'm on my second Blog. I would like to learn more about Blogging so I could set up a "Blog" for my students. A learning blog would be helpful. Students could read what others wrote about concerning their learning.
This morning we went over iMovie which was a lot of fun and informational. I practiced bringing in pictures, sound, and text. I also worked with grabbing the volume and fading sound out and in for my iMovie. We reviewed "bytes" of information and learned that there were now terabytes of information. A terabyte is equal to 1000 gega bytes. A DVD holds about 4.5 GB of information so I need to remember that when I try to copy media to CDs or DVDs. :)
Workiing with the digital camera was frustrating for me. I still use my 35mm regular camera. I also do not have an eye for the unusual for a good picture.
Looking forward to seeing the feedback on my essential questions. This unit is somewhat looming over me. I have to work on it THIS SUMMER!!! I also have to fix my problem at home about getting connected (reconnected) to the internet. It seems that keeping up with technology can be a headache too; especially for those who are easily technology challenged.
I thought Dr. Ohler's presentation was helpful and interesting. I got ideas that I can give my students for becoming better writers. I especially found two ideas helpful. first one bieng that the main character would make a transformation and then that an event brings readers into a story. Taking a simple event and thinking about a problem can make the story.
Lots of learning today! I appreciate the support from colleagues and instructors. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Look how far you have already come - yesterday you were worried about starting your Unit and already you have a solid foundation upon which to build your Unit Movie! Your blogs are thoughtful and fun to read - I can feel your excitement for learning :-)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
How exciting. You get to learn all about our new tools AND you get to go to Hawaii within a year. Life is good.
You summarized it well today... lots happening - I can "hear" your excitement, and feel the wheels turning as you explore how you will use your new learning with your students! Way to go!
