EDLD 5356 Reflection on week 3-5 PSA Production

     I found being part of a team to produce a public service announcement to be a very interesting experience. I believe that I have been in a team that is the most productive and motivated I have ever seen. Teri was clearly on her game from the beginning and got everything organized. Angela and Courtney were perfect for production and editing because they will not quit or be satisfied until everything is perfect. They were able to select the pictures for the video and keep them to a minimum so there could be adequate time to view them. I think Liz and I were a little blown away how competent these ladies are and the speed with which they attach a project.  Liz has been a real asset with her translations and narration in Spanish. I am very pleased we added the Spanish to reach such a large percentage of the public school parents. I could not have had a better team.  My frustration was with Google Doc. My computer and my computer at work would not run document correctly and it kept shutting down on me. I resorted to making most of my communication through email. I finally borrowed a computer and am able to make entries. As a result, I have missed a lot of the last week’s communication on Google Doc which I find very frustrating.
      On a positive side, I have now become a big fan of Audacity and Movie Maker and I am glad we chose Movie Maker for our PSA.  It was an easy choice since all of our team had it on their computers.  Although the team decided not to use music, I was able to play with the music in our PSA and experiment with it just to see if we might want to use music.  In the end, I agree with my team that the music was distracting, and I believe we have an effective PSA. I was also very glad Teri introduced me to Dropbox .com, and I will use that in my personal life.  This class has been a true joy. I am so impressed with my team mates and they have been the real stars of this PSA.

I was an interior design major before I changed to business. I have always loved old houses, and recently found out I lived in a house similar to the house I moved when I was a toddler. What did your family think of this project? They thought I was not operating on all cylinders. One daughter told me that you do not buy and old house like and antique and stick it in your backyard. Did you know what you were getting into? I had a friend that had moved two houses together, and I loved her house. I did not know the expense would be so much. Part of that was due to the fact Hurricane Ike came through and construction costs skyrocketed. Did you have any time where yo...

EDLD 5363 Web Conference December 15, 2011 Reflection

     Tonight’s conference was a little shorter for me than the last. It may be because I was so distracted by the web cam not working. It was on, but it would not come up in the class. I understand it may be because of I need flash, but it has always worked before. Because I kept messing with flash and the camera, I am afraid I missed some of the discussion. I was even kicked out of the conference once and had to log back on and wait to get it in. I guess all these things are kinks in a technology that will be ironed out as time goes on, and there are always growing pains as there is progress.        The conference was kind of an overview of what should already be done and what to look forward to in the future.   I did not have any real questions, but enjoyed hearing Dr. Abernathy assure us that she was there to help us if we needed her. I believe this has been my favorite class so far. It has not been high stress and it is something I w...
