12 Days Left

Wow! This has seemed like the longest 2 weeks ever! I presented my TIP today. I am glad I had a chance to do it. I deserved my 7 minutes to talk about months of work! Now I am going to consider what I will do with my server space and moodle. Do I unistall it? or just let my subscription die? I better talk to Paul! I am totally proud of if and maybe I should keep it for a bit to complete my PDA (Teacher Portfolio)??
Speaking of PDA, when I designed my website last August, I really designed it with a theme that I thought that represented me as a teacher. Its all original and I was thinking of using some of the same ideas particularly the color palate. I also want to brush and step up my CSS skills. We shall see....
Last night I completed Monique's and my AfterEd. After looking at the video, I really really really want to get better at Premiere. I did become comfortable with it (since I had to redo it TWICE). The quality of the product was nowhere near the standards that I would set for myself. Unfortunately Monique is a mac user and she's still working on improving her online research methods (I do love you Monique - My intentions are not to be mean! Still friends?)
I think I have hit a brick. Not a plateau, which is good because that means I can go around the brick and try to get back uphill! :) I'm just so afraid that when I do manage to get around the brick, it will be too late! My 2 weeks will be up and the learning time will be postponed until after the wedding, move, beginning of school, etc. Life.
So I have this ivideo, imovie, ithing to do and this is my chance. *Lose Yourself by Eminem playing* Seriously. I have dreams about it. I have one solid idea. I need another... again, we shall see...

AfterEd Plans

With similar commonalities, Monique and I decided that our AfterEd video would be the focus on Young Children and Technology. We are currently working on a solid 10 things. We both have some footage of children that we may use but we plan on infusing our video with already existing footage from royal free sources to keep it professional.
Our Audience: Teachers and other educators
Our Goal: For the audience to become aware of the need for technology in the early childhood classrooms (PK-2).
