Movie Maker

After I figured out how to save the slides as images in order to import them into Movie Maker I was on the path to success. This program was an easy and fun way to increase the effects of my Power Point Presentation. Using special effects, the slides transition smoothly and make it more exciting to read. Then, I saved and uploaded my video onto Teacher Tube. I hope you enjoy it!

Feeling a little overwhelmed

I'm starting to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I feel like a lot of work is due this week and I'm not sure if I'm doing any of it right! Besides my job, I'm taking one more class and a lot of work has been posted tonight due the beginning of next week. Ahhh! I would like to get Movie Maker completed, but I can't figure out how to get my presentation slides into the clips. I hope I figure it out soon!!

Embedded Google Presentation

Well, I'm not sure if I did this right. I feel like I'm either missing an item or should have deleted an item. I inserted the presenation link from Google Docs and embeded it into a web page. I changed the background, font, colors, title, and design. My slides transition with just a click of a button and my resource links take you directly to the correct page. Feel free to take a look and let me know if I'm missing anything or have completely done it wrong! I hope you enjoy my web page.

Google Docs Presentation

This was a success! I uploaded my Power Point Lesson Plan onto Google Presentations and edited the text to fit the screen. I also had to enable links to their correct page. After I fixed my slides I was able to present it within Google Docs. I hope you like it!

Power Point Show

This took me a little bit longer to figure out. I wasn't sure how to save it as a show, but once I figured out that you had to change the type name to Power Point Show I was on the right path. This is also a great tool to have so anyone can view your presentation. All of these items are new to me, so I'm glad that I'm learning how to use them. Here is a link to my show.

Power Point Web Page

After using Power Point's help tool I was able to save my presentation as a web page. Then once I figured out how to put it into the ftp site, the web page popped right up. I never knew that you could do something like this with Power Point. This is a great tool to have so anyone can view your presentations. Everyday is a new learning experience and I'm glad that I have the opportunity. Here is a link to my presentation web page.

Power Point Presentation Lesson Plan

Since I have used Power Point before this was a fun and easy way to present my first grade lesson plan. I was able to incorporate the lesson's format onto a slide show, which created an interactive version of the subject. However, I did learn how to make an interactive table of contents, narrate my slides, and link items to other web pages. This would be a good tool to use if I needed to present information to the faculty. Instead of handouts everyone could see the format on a screen and provide positive criticism if any was needed. Here is a link to my Power Point Lesson Plan

Week 3

Well, I feel that I'm getting the hang of most things, but I still have a long way to go. I completed my Photo Story besides the voice narration because my mic is not working at this moment. I hoping to figure it out soon. The next step is to use Power Point to create a presentation for a lesson plan. I hope to not have to much trouble since I've used the program before, but we will see.

Photo Story Self Introduction

Using Photo Story 3 I introduced myself using pictures. It was a fun and easy way to show viewers a little bit about myself. However, I'm having trouble getting my microphone to work, so there isn't any narration right now. I'm glad that I was introduced to this program, so I can do slide shows for my classroom or other events. Here is a link to "My Story."

Working Hard

It's another week down and I feel that I'm learning a lot about the uses of technology. There are still some programs that I'm unsure about and don't feel entirely comfortable using them, but it all comes with experience. I'm beginning to work on my Photo Story and I purchased a microphone today, so hopefully I will be able to set everything up. Photo Story seems like it's going to be fun to create. Well, I think that I have done all the assignments up until the nineteenth. If anyone knows of anything else please let me know!

FTP Site

I created my FTP site and it was so easy to use. I love how I can be anywhere and open my files, so that I can get work done. I saved my resume, cover letter, and some of my fourth grade lesson plans to the FTP site. This way I can be at work and open them with ease. I have never used it before and I'm so glad that we were told about it. Here is a link to my resume on my FTP site.

Google Sites

I began my home page in Google Sites. I'm still trying to work out some of the bugs, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I watched the video on how it works before I got started, so it helped me out a little bit. I still have doubts on whether I'm doing these projects right, which is a little worrisome. However, I feel that this site can be used throughout a classroom and school environment to notify every one of upcoming events, getting to know the classroom teacher and expectations, etc. As I continue to play around with it I hope to learn everything there is to know.
