podcast

I have been working on my podcast. I have listened to it many times and inserted music in the middle where there is a pause. With the information that I am presenting (how to create a query in Access), there isn't much need for music. Although I still do not like the sound of my own voice, I can see where this could be a helpful teaching aid.

I found it very helpful to listen to feedback on my webquest while looking at the quest. This was more beneficial than flipping between email (text) and the quest. I can see where I could use this in conjunction with my webquest, since my students will need to submit a presentation to me. Just need to get over not liking the sound of my own voice :)

I am very excited about the use of podcasting in conjuction to what I do. The biggest problem is I don't like the sound of my own voice. I am hoping to find someone in our department that has a better voice and won't mind doing some for me.

really cool site

While searching for web2.o topics I found the best site. I have spent most of the evening checking out the programs listed. This has been so much fun. I am amazed what is out there. Check it out http://www.slideshare.net/heasulli/web-2-tools-for-education-compatible/

Finishing the Webquest

I have looked at my webquest and walked through it so many times making sure all the links work correctly. I think that I have looked at this so much that I am not sure I can effectively evaluate my own webquest, it is like proofing your own report. Some people can, some can't. I can't because I know what I meant to say and it seems like it does... Make sense, anyone else feel that way?

Second Life

I received my invitation today to Kent Island. I enjoyed going there and seeing how this program can be used, I was beginning to wonder! I found the quickest way to see everything on the island was to fly over it. It made it much easier to find different buildings and friends - yes someone else was there at the same time. I explored the buildings that other classes are using. I am excited to be something besides a happy face during the next class discussion!

webquest

The idea of creating my first webquest was a little scary. I think that learning a new software (expressions) while learning a new skill was the bad part. I made my storyboard in word since I know that software and spent the evening transfering it over into expressions. I have to say there were a lot of simularities - although tables gave me a hard time. Using a premade template was great and things went better than I expected. Hopefully linking the pages and completing the project will go this easily :)
