WEEK 4: RESPONSE TO CISNEY







As we approach the end of this month and the course overall, I would like to show my appreciation for my classmates and instructors.  This last month, I am sure, will fly by and before we know it we will be done, graduation will be over and we will all go back to the lives we had before this course.  I have learned many things from this course and the people I have journeyed though it with.  My hope is that we will stay in touch, continue to bounce ideas off each other, and work to make education a better place for educators and students.  I will miss the interactions with my classmates; creating movies together from all over the country, growing tired of Second Life project after Second Life project, and wondering about grades.  I will enjoy getting to spend more time with my family and sleeping the first two days after this course is over.  Thank you to all who have enriched and touched my life over these past 12 months.  Stay in touch and I wish you well in the future.  God Bless




Thank you Eric for sharing your last blog with us, I have enjoyed my experience with Full Sail and one of my greatest reflections has been the friends I have made throughout our courses.  In December I joined your group because of a family emergency and a month of leave.  I was reluctant because I had made such amazing friends from my other co-hort group.  I was thrilled to see the same spirit of communication and collaboration existed.  The same community feeling of friendship and professionalism.  Thank you for welcoming me in.

I will be graduating with my original class on April 2, 1010 (although I'll be working on my final project at the same time) but want to share my feelings of gratitude to all. Thank you!

WEEK 4: iTunes, Pandora, Last.fm, Audible.com, GarageBand

I watched the tutorials for itunes, pandora and Last.fm.  I have used itunes and pandora but, Last.fm is new tome.  Interestingly I do have a Iphone so i downloaded the apps and love being able to have my pandora and last.fm now in my car via this app!

The garage band tutorial was good if you knew how to play the guitar (which I don't) so I continue to play with the garage band and make new loops and music via the extra loops I purchased.  I was getting tired of hearing the same garage band loops in all of my presentations and now I am starting to hear them on commercials.  Time to upgrade!  My daughter is learning to play the guitar via garage band's "learn guitar" series and she says so far this has been the best computer lesson app.

After I finish my thesis this next month I want to work on my piano and learning more from the garage band series and transfer it to my personal piano... Can't wait!

WEEK 4: POST 1

WELL, The clock is ticking and the time is growing short and we will soon be graduates from Full Sail University.  As I reflect on this I am wondering if I have gained everything I had hoped to gain from this experience.  I have learned so many tools such as designing websites, podcasts, blogs, video production, flash creations, online course development, photo imaging, photo sharing, music making, music and video appreciation I think yes I can say I have gained a lot from this experience!  In my final month I will be fine tuning my media creation and thesis I am proud of this so far and excited to keep plugging away and making a masterpiece. Go to Making The Change to view and see what I have accomplished so far.  I will be adding podcasts, video's a ning and a short online course.

WEEK 2: blog post 4

The art of possibility chapter 4 takes the human nature of asking "why me?", and helps us turn it around and make life sweeter by asking "What have I done to contribute?"  "do unto others as I would have them do unto me" (paraphrase of course).  We know this but, do we actually take each day and ask ourselves "what have I done to contribute?"


So I took this question and I asked my friends through Facebook what they have contributed this week and of course had many replies.  Here are the responses:

Allison Carter Kenney
proctoring FCAT doesn't work, but, I will throw out that I contributed to making sure teenagers taking the FCAT were calm and self assured. (I did the first one) now your turn.
Tracy Dover Huggins
Contributed to a special project at work that will assist many others
Mindy Lafevers-Hodge
Tried my best to keep the hubs comfortable during a terrible food poisoning episode.
Dennis Wright
contributed to teaching creative young minds how to make the world a little more beautiful. (One fierce outfit at a time! Ha!)
Donna Clark Bateman
contributed by showing love to a 13-yo that was acting way less than lovable.
J'aime Arcaini Settle
The world population :)

So I will ask my blog friends the same thing now... "what have you done to contribute?"

My Project so far

www.makingthechangeweb20.comok, so I got a domain name and started my website.  Go check it out... and tell me what you think. I am really looking for critical responses.. don't just tell me you like it.. I want to know how I can change it if I need to.  My target audience is K-12 teachers.. and most technology websites cater to the secondary teachers.  I wanted the site to be attractive to all teachers.

I also found a new LMS (free) course offering site.. go to my professional development page and take a look at "myhaiku".

enjoy!
