Web 2.0

One of the tools that web 2.0 offers that I think can do a great job at furthering education is the website, blackboard. This site allows teachers to post grades, assignments, announcements, and virtually anything a student needs to know about the class. It is a great tool to help facilitate the effectiveness of a class.

One way that Facebook can be utilized in education is to form a class group where students can join. As a teacher, you could put information about the class and different articles that can help the students learn the material.

Fit 4 LIfe

Here is the link to our second video that Adam edited: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jomd59Y0s&feature=player_embedded

Creating the video for this class was a god experience for me. I had never created a video like this before so being able to do this was pretty cool. I feel like if I had to do this again I would be able to. This is a great tool to have as a PE teacher. You could use this while teaching your kids, during parent teacher conferences, or to promote PE. This is a great tool to have as a PE teacher.

iMovie Challenges

Overall the process of creating this movie has gone pretty smooth. I had a few issues with trying to get music that I could use to put to my movie. I wasn't sure what format the audio had to be in. After a bit of trial and error I just downloaded the music into iTunes and that worked perfect.

Figuring out the audio was probably the only major problem I faced. Everything else went pretty smooth.

Movie Storyboard

Adam and I have decided to make the theme of our videos "Fit 4 Life." The direction that we decided to take was to film kids performing activities that they can do pretty much their whole lives.

The first video would have a shot of kids dancing in a PE setting, showing different dance steps that the can do. The second video would have kids playing with hula hoops. After we got the footage we will have a few pictures of people doing those activities as well. Throughout the movie we would also have music playing in the background. That is a general outline of our two videos.
