Movie Maker

Today we learned how to use Windows Movie Maker. I like Movie maker better than PhotoStory. Windows Movie Maker is better because you can do a lot more options to choose from. When editing your movie you have more options to choose from. In Windows Movie Maker you can insert your PhotoStory right into Movie Maker and edit it from there. We have learned about many different ways to present information to your class. I have really enjoyed learning about all these new ways of introducing information because it keeps the class excited abou learning. Cick here to see my video on Youtube. We also started to make our Portfolio on Google Docs. Click here to see my Portfolio site.

PhotoStory

Today We Finished learning how to use PhotoStory. We learned how to import pictures onto PhotoStory, we learned how to add text to pictures and we also learned how to add motion to our pictures so it will be more interresting. We also learned how to add music to our PhotoStory as well. PhotoStory is different than Movie Maker. In PhotoStory you can upload pictures from the internet and slides from PowerPoint. I really enjoyed using PhotoStory. It is another neat way to do a presentation. I believe Students will enjoy it as well. After we finished our PhotoStory we uploaded it to Youtube.

Prezi

We learned how to make a Prezi presentation. I really liked using this because it's a very neat and different way to make a presentation. I had a hard time learning how to use a Prezi at first then once I started using it more it became easier. I did keep having a hard time using the zebra tool. I kept hitting the wrong thing. I think I will use Prezi when I become a teacher. Click here to see my Prezi presentation on Recycling. IST-NETS

Recycling PowerPoint

This week we had to make a PowerPoint on something that would address a topic that will one day be in your teaching field. I chose to do recycling. Recycling is a topic that most children don't know a lot about. We learned how to create a PowerPoint and upload images to inserte in out PowerPoint. We also learned how to upload our PowerPoint and insert it into our blog. In our PowerPoints we were suppose to have very few words on each slide. We want children to be able to learn something from our PowerPoint as well. Click here to see my PowerPoint on recycling. ISTE-NETS:

Converting

Today we learned how to convert an APA Paper from a PDF file to a word document. We has our Action Research Paper saved as a PDF file in Google Docs but some of us needed to make changes on our paper. You can not make changes to a PDF file so that is why we needed to convert it to a Word Document. Click here to see the Jing video I made to show you how to convert a PDF file to a Word Document.

~Today we also had to make 2 videos on Jing. The first video we had to make was hoe to install the analysis toolpack to excel. Click here to watch that video on how to istall the anaylsis toolpack to Excel. The other video we had to make was show how to do a t-test on Excel. Click here to see my other video on how to do a t-test. On the T-test video there was not a significant difference between the pre and post test scores. The way you figure this out is that if the number is greater than .05 then there is no significant difference and if the number is less than .o5 then there is a significant difference in the scores.
