Weekly Post

Wow! What a few weeks it has been. I managed to get through the las journey picking up some very useful tools along the way. The most challenging was creating the website. That was a bit frustrating considering that I was at one point a decent web page builder - as the saying goes "use it or lose it". I tried what I thought would be the simpliest way to host the website through wikispaces and discovered that there were some limitations that came with that choice. The limit on files sizes, page layout/design. However, the pages where simple to build and the tools were very userfriendly. the end result was a site with good content,appearance and ease of navigation - precisely what I have been wanting for the courses I teach.

I am looking forward to the video module. I really enjoy working wit this type of media and have played with some techniques as I create short video clips for church and to a lesser extent for school. I am also discovering the possibilities of video in instruction - I like the idea of not being there but being there for my students through recorded lessons.

Until my next installment,
