My 6th personal experience I chose DVD mainly because I need to take things to my classroom now.
I have to get used to developing lessons onto a DVD for students to see and hear my lessons. So i went to lynda.com and the tutorial was great.  I had forgotten where to find iDVD and I stumbled into applications and there I found the icon.  It was fairly easy to use and there are a number of themes and direct connections to previous projects I have been working on. I hope to create a project of all the experiences and assignments I have done to complete this coursework and my action research.  I love the music that was pre-recorded.  It is a classical piece I love and can't remember the name or composer. Here are some of my screen shots and the DVD I will post later when I refine the movie.

My first though about Flash was O M G… this is for a computer programmer, which I aspired to be many years ago.  I started out looking at the wrong video.  The Getting started video should have been labeled Chapter 2.  I then went to “Getting to know Flash which focused on file types used in Flash.  That seemed more my level but still difficult to put into practical use.  Fla file and SWF files are the most common that are used and the tutorial stated that the fla files are used for working and the swf files ar the output file portion something seen on the web. The Welcome screen is the first thing you see when you open Flash.  In the center of the welcome screen the first five files are the fla or working files. 

Listening to the narrator about the various files leaves me to the conclusion that Flash is difficult and I am going to need help….to be continued

Adobe SoundBooth is an application I am continuing to learn about because it is a part of the Adobe C5 kit.  I believe I ewill eventually combine many of the attributes of Adobe by connecting sounds and visual images to make great presentations. 

First I went to the URL www.adobe.com/products/soundbooth/.  There I downloaded the overview of the program.  The designers made SoundBooth ffro recording, editing and mastering audio so it can be used in any Adobe program especially video. Sound effects are also available for adding excitement to any presentation. I tried to visit the Garrick Chow tutorial and Firefox crashed while attempting it. Lynda.com tutorial explains further editing capabilities.   :Like removing unwanted room noise or scratches from a vintage LP/album.

Another screen shows how sound effects can be added by manipulation the green positive bar or the red negative bar on a graph using integers as the quantity of measurement.

As the tutorial plays it gives the student an audio example of the effect.  Similar to Garageband Adobe Soundbooth has prerecorded scores that allow you to use them at will because they are copyright free. One of the greatest features is the speech to text  capabilities so you can speak into a microphone and the program will convert your audio to text.

 Obviously Soundbooth is a great tool for video professionals and presenters to use for enhancing their final products.  I hope to continue using the features for my technology inclusion into my music class.

BP_9 Web 2.0

One of the issues I face is my ability to use real-time teaching tools.  The WiZiQ website is such a Web 2.0 tool.  One of the best features is the capabilities to write or use existing lessons available on their URL http://www.wiziq.com.  The website is designed to be used by teachers globally.  I found a lesson about instrumentation with colorful drawings and spelling.  The website has links for teachers to meet and collaborate.  There is a portion that helps you as an educator to prepare lessons and exams. We as educators are also dealing with our own multiple intelligences.  I like visuals and audio lessons.  There are video lessons available for students and teachers.  I like the fact that you can search for classes in order to learn about as subject you may need to brush up on.  I imagine myself enrolling in course and sending students to the website to encourage rigor and engagement in and out of my classroom.  WiZiQ is user friendly so the elementary student and the college student can find resources to fit there current needs as a student.  It can be found on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, yahoo Groups and more. This Web 2.0 is worth using as a support system for parents that need to connect to teachers and subjects when they are trying to help their students at home.  Parents can network with other parents world wide about school and student issues. As the teachers, parents and students become a learning community the possibilities of academic achievement increase.
