After working on this collaborative research project for approximately 3 weeks now, we are coming down to the very end. It's time to finalize our work and prepare it for presentation. I feel as though our research question was answered and we are going above and beyond by trying to figure out ways to further our project. We're looking at the results and seeing exactly where they can take us. What steps can we make to make this research effective to the common public? How can we make the research and hard work that we put into this project productive?
Determination will lead to our destination..
Every group set up their projects differently. Examples: All on the same page, Interview 1 on a page and Interview 2 on a separate page and links to each interview and pieces of the project.
*Disclaimer is helpful to warn viewers that there may be possible differences in groups websites.
I'm very curious how people were able to use different websites to upload their videos. I noticed that someone was able to upload an entire video (28 minutes worth) using Viddler. I tried this website with my 18 minute video and could not figure out how to upload it without receiving an error stating my video was too large.
How to put youtube video with a standstill picture and audio.
imovie- drag photo and drag audio, export as movie.
Reflective Letter:
How has this class impacted your writing?
How has this class impacted your notions about research?
How has this class impacted your notions and literacies in relation to technology? (twitterive, weebly, blogging, YouTube, Recording devices, and file formats)
Do you think you're going to maintain your website after class?
Talk about restraints weebly has.
How has it been trying to get research and interviewee's?
As of right now, there is a lot that still needs to be done with our projects. I still need to work on uploading the video to youtube. I need to review the tutorial on how to cut a video down into two parts. Also, our group needs to come together more on exactly what we need to do. I feel as though we're all kind of confused as to where our project is going, what sources to start looking for, and when to visit the schools.
The following person interviewed, Ms. Pam Reilly, works at Durand Academy and Community Servies. Durand is a private special education school consisting of children from the ages of 5-16. Pam teaches a class of 9 students ranging from ages 9-13. This particular school does not have a cafeteria, so the children must pack their lunches every day. The interview was focused on whether or not the children seem to eat healthy.
Trying to figure out how to add the video of the interview without putting it up on YouTube.
