Class Activities for Thursday September 10

1. Begin assembling your PhotoStory.


2. To save your project FTP it to your Fairmont State account. This will allow you to download it and work on it from home.


3. When you finish your project, Export your project as a movie. The My Video folder is a good option for storing your work on your computer. This will change your file from a PhotoStory project which have a ( .wp3 ) file extension to a Windows Media File (.wmv ) file extension. Please view your exported project (movie) by double clicking on it. It should open in Windows Media Player.


Homework:
1.Read "Orchestrating the Media Collage" by Jason Ohlerat at:
http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational_leadership/mar09/vol66/num06/Orchestrating_the_Media_Collage.aspx

2. Make a blog posting that answers the question:
Should students be allowed to create multimedia project instead of writing papers in school (at least some of the time)? Be sure to justify your answer by referencing the reading and the NETS-T.

Due Date: Your PhotoStory and blog posting are due Tuesday September 15 Midnight.

  1. Hello. I just wanted to check with you on some details of our assignments. How would you like us to post our Photostory on our blog? Should we link it or publish it? Also, do you want it in the same post as our blog in regards to the above reading and question, or in a separate blog posting?

    Thanks! - Justine

  2. Hi Justine,
    You can link to your blog but uploading it to TeacherTube or YouTube. I reccomend TeacherTube becasue many schools block YouTube. If you want to embedded it into your blog you can do that to. I'm just not sure how to give you directions to do that right now. I will on Tuesday. If you link to your PhotoStory you may use the same blog post. If you embed it make it a sperate positng. Hope this make sense!
