Website Reflection

Check out my class website. I had a great time with my girlfriend making the site. W e used ichat and shared the screen. I needed to tutor for this assignment and my girlfriend makes websites professionally. Cool! Except she lives in Plano, Texas. I didn't know how that would work, but it came together really well. We were both able to work see the same screen and work on it. It was very enjoyable to do this project together not talking about family or husbands etc. I even got my class website for my real class set up with gmail.
I was not looking forward to taking this class. It frightened me because I do not have much computer experience. Now it is done and I actually enjoyed the class. There were moments of terror, but with Jeff and my peers support I have finished triumphant!

Making my first imovie

I had a great time with the movie project. It will be something to share over the years at family gatherings. I actually think I could make another imovie without too much trouble. This class has taught me so much. I have a hard time keeping up, but have been blessed with caring people around me willing to assist. I am pressing into the world of today, for better or worse. I get upset with technology until I think of how it keeps me in touch with those I love. Without today's technology I wouldn't be able to daily talk with my daughters and grandson who live so far away. Technology 486 has been a hard and stressful road, but I am glad I was forced to tread it. I will be a better teacher because I took this course.

Virtual Tour of Japan, family style

After many tries, I discovered my error and was able to upload my video! I hope you enjoy it.

Imovie frustration

Ok so after about 45 min the imovie upload dropped. I then tried all of the quick time downloads, nothing! It downloads off imovie but will not upload to the blog. I then tried my daughter-in-laws 1 min imovie. It had the same problem. After the upload it says error try again later. I checked my pictures again and they are at 72pix. I tried my flash drive, it's really big, same problem. My daughter-in-law tried to put it in the blog same thing. I am sure I am not doing something right. It has to be simple to fix and I am just not figuring it out. It is an 9 version if that makes any difference. If I can't get it done next class I will go to the apple store and have them check it out. I think I am doing something wrong just don't know what, but I have now spent hours trying to get the finished product on my blog and I am frustrated!

Ok, I discovered the problem. You need to publish post before you try to see the video on your blog! Like I thought, an easy answer. Never the less, I learned a lot from my ignorance. Success is sweet.

American Revolution

Here is my second attempt at using inspiration (kidspiration). It was more fun than the first because I had unlimited time to play around with it. Still don;t know how to do the notes,but hopefully I will find out soon.

This was fun but stressful. I need more time to do these projects. My learning curve is pretty big when I am on a level playing field. It is like I am on a different planet. I am still getting my bearings. I am learning soo much! I just try and finish my work in class because I am afraid I will hit a wall of stupidity and not be able to finish the work. I am taxing to those around me, but up to now they are kind and helpful. I remember the story of the little engine that could, I think I can ,I think I can, I think I can.. Just keep moving forward and you will get there.

Insperations

This is a tough class for me. I cried last Tuesday because of the stress. I'm not used to being the slow kid. I guess it's really good for me to understand my special education kids
