I was so worried about the jing screencast that it was giving me anxiety the week before I started it. I logged on and downloaded it and got even more anxiety. I watched Dr. Cantu's ponopto link and it helped a lot. I was wondering what that yellow sunshine thing was on the top of my internet browser. It all was simpler than I thought. The hard part was posting the link. Another issue I had was that the video was only allowed to be 5 minutes long. As a result I had to make 2 videos, 1 with the assignment instructions, and another with the rubistar rubric and online resource.
I have used Rubistar in the past for rubrics. However I have always ended up retyping everything. So I now make my rubrics in microsoft word.
Google.docs was easy enough. I found that using the templates made for a nice touch. However the template I chose was in Spanish. The limited Spanish I know made for a tough time figuring out what to put. Luckily the instructions were in English. And there was no spell check.
For the Web 2.0 assignment, I chose Animoto.com. This site turns photos into videos and adds music as well. I thought this would be a good way to display all the images that my students have created. I also plan on using this in my upcoming wedding. I am very excited that I found this site because I think the students will enjoy it. Even moreso than the students, I think that I will enjoy it more.
I hope everybody's semester went well and I hope that all your future semesters go well too. Good luck on your masters' degree.
