Weekly

Today was the first day of presentations. I felt that I wasn't ready, but later I felt that I was actually ready, so I must have been a bit nervous. And nervousness means that you're not ready, and that you're not confident. And sure enough I found that my Voicethread wasn't as good as it could actually be. And I also noticed that I should have talked more about the software, rather than how to use it. So I went started working right away.

About Voicethread

The Voicethread is a great tool, but personally I prefer Animoto because it is easier to use and manage, whereas Voicethread is confusing, and not alot of my friends liked it. My Voicethread is about the MS Photostory. And it shows how to use the Photostory.

Letter to Dr. Hedger

As seen in the previous blogs containing the Animotos, I have explanied why Photostory would help classes greatly, and why we need it. I have also explained what we can do with this software, and how it would be useful to many students. Mr. Hedger, our school is a great place and we have many facilities, and technologies. So why not improve those facilities, so that we can have a better learning system, with better technologies, and have students enjoy and learn something at the same time. We have spent time on our projects, trying to show you how these technologies, that may not seem so related to education, can be used in a different way, or altered so that it will be educationally useful. and since many technologies have been pouring in through the doors of Qatar Academy, why not choose ours. Some may seem unusual to you, but if you really look at the technology, and read our reasearches, then you might come to find that they are actually very useful.

So please take the time and read our blogs, so that we might get these technologies that will help us in education in the future. And even though, all of them may not seem right, I'm sure atleast you would find some that are really useful. Thank You for making some time in your busy schedule for reading this.

Final Post

Today is the last in class for us to work in class and in this post I will include all the details that have happened in this proect.

This project was a really great project and we had alot of fun and experience doing it. There were some problems, such as the quality of some programs. One of them; the Voicethread wasn't very easy to use. And your voice completely altered when you recorded it and clicked playback. Also there were problems uploading pictures, and it was really confusing, if you hadn't planned out how you want it to be. On the other hand I completely approve of Animoto, because it was simple to use, and was finished in easy steps. Also, I noticed that students had quite fun expirementing with pictures and music. And all the other programs I used in this project were great.

My work was sometimes easy and sometimes hard. It also depended on the amount of work I did the previous lesson.

This is the weekly blogpost for the project before the evaluation:

I started this project in the beginning of March, and now on May 6th; the last lesson, I have come to complete most of the work. All I have to do now is complete two more slides for my Voicethread, then I will post it on blogger. And then I will perfect all the blogposts, if they need to be changed. And this week I plan finish everything and then I will present my work on May 13th, or May 20th.
