I enjoyed doing this project. I love making videos,
I started doing them in high school for computer and design classes and have
continued doing them just for fun. I prefer to use iMovie because it is totally
user friendly and it has a lot of cool features. Unfortunately I do not have a
Mac, I have a Dell and Windows Movie Maker is now my friend.
I used garage band to record my verbal essay and I
then uploaded my essay into movie maker. I had some issues with movie maker
referencing the files and videos I was using but once I got those worked out I
was up and running. I have only ever uploaded two videos to youtube.com, so that’s
all still pretty new to me but I am figuring it all out. I haven’t gone public
with either one yet but soon enough I will have a viral video. I just know it.
;)
The content of my essay and video are my true
feelings about how influential teachers can be in students’ lives. I believe
that as educators we can greatly impact our student’s lives. And not just in
the moment but for years and years to come!
The part that I didn’t enjoy was the part where my
computer would not recognize my video and Windows Movie Maker would not upload
it. It was even more frustrating when one time I would open my project and it
would work and the next time it wouldn’t.
Overall I thought this project was unique and
fun. As an educator I plan to
incorporate these types of elements into my professional blog and curriculum.
