Final "New Technology" Blog Post

The design of my presentation differed from how I thought it would in the beggining because their was a mix up of how many people were in a group. So I had to redo my project and change my technology. In the beggining I though my project would end up with a certain trchnology, but it came out to be with a different one.

The strengths were that my Animoto was very well and entertaining using colors and music. The VoiceThread was also very strong because the wording and sound was true and not boring because the technology was very exciting. The weaknesses were that the posts were very long (which was good to the teacher) but not too great for the children because it is very boring to look through two pages of work. Also I had to look through both pages, so the internet had to load the page, which was a silent and aquard time.

My work could have been improved if the VoiceThread was louder and if the pictures on the blog were more neat.

I would reccomend students to do this next year because it takes a lot of work and focus and I believe that the students next year would need these characteristics to get through the senior school succesfully especialy in the larger grades.

Problems

Throughout this project there have been many problems. With Animoto the animoto took a very large time to create so we had to wait and sometimes redo it in the next lesson. Over half of the class had problems with VoiceThread including me. The voice would not work except on some computers. These problems were major but most of the project ran by smoothly and I am happy for that. Throughout the project I worked productivly and I am happy with my work.

April 17th: Todays Work

Today I have finished my Animoto and put it on Blogger. The remix is finished as well. I am proud of my work. Overall I am doing well and using my time wisely throughout the project.

Todays Work

Today I have finished all of the work needed by the checklist. I worked productivly and got what was needed to be done done. I am extremely happy that I have finished succesfully and on time. Overall I enjoyed the project and working with websites that I never worked with (Animoto, Voicethread). The project has been fun but I knew that I would have to push myself to finish, and thats what I did. I am proud of my finished work on the Blackberry Curve 8320.

Today's Work

Throughout today in I.T class (May 1st 2008) I have finished recording the voice onto my VoiceThread Blackberry pictures. I have worked well throughout the class and finished a lot of work. In the beggining I had started on the recording on my normal computer but nothing worked so I had to go to the front computer where it worked. Although I had to stress myself to finish a lot of work in a small time (because of the computer problems). Overall I got a lot of work done and I am happy to be finished with my VoiceThread and everything which was before it on time.
