Enlightened

Weekend two contained so much useful information. I was really amazed by how easy it was to use audacity and movie-maker. Audacity did not make much sense until we were actually recording our information and adding background sound to the presentation. In addition, I had no idea that movie-maker would be so easy to access, download, and operate. The information gleamed from this weekend could be easily applied in the classroom and will prove useful for putting together future presentations. At first, the notion of using audacity and movie-maker was intimidating. Now these tools not only make sense but they seem to be pivotal to developing projects that reflect high standards of professionalism. I am looking forward to tinkering with pbwiki, blogger dashboard and movie-maker this week. I know that by working through the projects and taking the time to explore these tools I will come away from this class with a wealth of practical skills. I feel enlightened and I am definitely less stressed about the multimedia and blog projects.
