Updated Practicum Hours for EDLD 5363 Dec 2013

I have been steadily working since last June to get many of my hours completed.  I have interviewed several key personal in the Central Offices of the Clear Creek ISD and on my campus.  I will have complete 60 hours as of January 6, 2014, after I instruct a staff development session at Bayside Intermediate.  In Feb. 2014, I have been selected to hold a session on Physics in the Classroom where I will co-present with a science teacher on my campus.  I know that in 10 Weeks I will need the 75 hours to be able to continue with my program and determined to have it done early.  No surprises for me.   

Video Conference Reflection for Multimedia Video Technology EDLD 5363

For EDLD 5363 I logged into the weekly video conference to understand what was needed from me. The assignments can be a little confusing with me not being sure what to submit and where.  I turned in an assignment late accidentally, because it was redundant to what I had put in the discussion area that week.  It cost me 5 points, not a lot in the total, but I expect more from myself.  Having the video conference is good, but it is mostly to clarify directions given in the assignments and not for enriching the class. Having directions for the assignments that are consistent and coherent for the assignments would allow the  video conference to be more beneficial to all of the students. I have to admit that the video conference is intimidating to ask questions in, as if can be frustrating for the Prof to have to respond in different manners to allow all students to understand, having the other students explain what they understood creates better understanding also.One of the things I would like to see, especially with TK20 submissions, is screenshots or sharing the desktop when explaining where and how to submit items. I did learn a lot in the class and appreciate the effort put into it, these suggestions are meant only to help the next set of students taking the class.

Reflection of Multimedia Video Technology - EDLD 5363

In Multimedia Video Technology, EDLD 5363 I have been immersed into the usage of video, audio, graphics and the combination of these to create original educational projects that are published via the Internet. The projects had to communicate to multiple types of audiences and be available in a variety of media types from podcast to an edited group video.

Each project we were required to produce meant time spent planning, communicating and executing skills that as a group we were building. We gained experience through using different programs. Each group member shared knowledge and skills with the group allowing for enhanced learning to occur.

The projects required us to understand the Creative Commons that protects our work while allowing for use of it to others as we desire.  Keeping the copyright laws in mind while allowing others to access the information and expand the subject matter.

The class required that we update our blog and upload our podcast and videos for public view. This was a new experience for me and I learned a great deal about the skills required to ensure a production that was useful for others.
