Term 3, Here I Come!
January 25, 2009 — Vanessa RileyThe second term (first semester!) has ended! This means tomorrow, we all get a new start. Plans for the podcasting class include creating TAKS review sessions for students at our school and at Krimmel Intermediate! Our Gramma Snob podcast last semester didn’t go over so well, mainly because we needed a visual aspect. Try explaining the differences between your and you’rewithout any visual elements. Yeah. like, I said, this year is a learning process. I had been planning on using the camcorder to help out with vodcasts, but I think that what I really need to do is use the Starboard Screen Capture software on the computers for now.
I am so angry with myself – I signed up for a MovieMaker class on Friday and totally forgot all about it on Saturday until I got the e-mail that I “failed” the course. I thought it was NEXT week. I really needed this for using the movies that we would make in class with Starboard and the Audacity files that we would record to explain the material. Grr. I guess I can try to figure it out myself – it seems pretty easy. I bet I could do it with our AL subscription.
One of my new students is ESL, so I’m *really* excited about having her in class. This could start to be that element that Aspiazu was hoping for – the ESL element. We can have bilingual podcasts now!
