2nd 325 Blog

Since our first class, I ran the technology for the WITESOL conference, and have been spending a lot more time helping out our staff with various forms of technology. In the process I have noticed, digital immigrant that I am, while I often know what I am doing, frequently I lack the vocabulary to describe it. I'll need to improve my vocabulary for any areas I want to teach.

I did take your suggestion and opt for Photostory 3 for my students to do movies with their states projects. I will be demonstrating it to them on Friday for the first time. Also, now that Photostory 3 is installed in our computer lab, I will be giving a mini workshop on it to the staff next week for our Technology Tuesday during our lunch hour.

The other major thing I have learned are about the elements of design. I still have a lot to learn...but now I at least have a better idea, and a better reference book, for when something just doesn't look right.
