EDLD 5363 Week 2

Wow! This week's assignment was a challenge! I don't have much experience with video editing software and it was difficult for me to learn to navigate through new programs. I had a lot of trouble with Adobe Premiere. I found that it was very complicated and that I did not have enough time to devote to learning it well enough to teach it. So, I chose to explore iMovie a little more. I had used it last week to create my photo story, but I learned that it is capable of much more when I explored it today.

I created a short tutorial of the basics of iMovie for my assignment. I hope that it provides enough information for even beginners, like myself, to use it to create and edit videos.

ELDL 5363 - Web Conference #1

I attended our first web conference on Tuesday night and I'm glad that I did! I had many questions about our first assignment and about this course overall. Many of my classmates asked the questions that I was wondering myself, so I got lots of information from Dr. Abernathy and my classmates, as well. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes into the conference, I was disconnected and could not log back in. I'm not sure what happened and was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem. Overall, I have enjoyed conferencing with my professors and classmates. They are always very informative and I feel very supported and encouraged after each one. I look forward to many more!
