ED480 Self Evaluation


ED480 The Educational Technology class this semester was fun and educational at the same time. The software we used could be definitely applied to the classroom for a variety of projects and activities. I am sure that over time computer technology will change and will even be more user friendly, all you will need is the computer hardware/software and internet access.I recommend everyone to take this course including those teachers in the classroom who may want to incorporate technology into their classrooms. Thanks Mr. J for making the class fun and enjoyable on a Saturday afternoon. See all of you in the fall.

One True Media Class Project


The final class project and presentation was the use of a film software presentation, our group selected One true media software for our film project. the software was easy to use but in order for you to access more bells and whistle options you need to pay for the upgraded version. Another problem encountered from all groups was the length of time it took for the software to download the video shot by the teams. But the end result was a sharp video picture very good sound and hilarious plot and storyline, we had a good laugh on our last day.The end presentation was a Weebly commercial in which Colleen is putting together a resume for a job interview, watch the video in the next post to see what happens.
Enjoy the show.

Weebly.com


This weeks assignment was to use a software named Weebly. The Weebly software allows users to post a online resume for prospective employers to view and evaluate.I personally really liked using this software it was easy to use and the many options that made it a joy to work with. In comparing weebly to a blog, I would say they are very similar in regards to the ease to work with, the contrast is that weebly in my opinion shows the person in a true light and not an opinion a person may have that week which could change over time in a blog. Using this software would be beneficial to a teacher in that the students would share a little bit about themselves and their experiences. A teacher could build upon their strengths and help them catch up to speed on areas where they needed assistance.
