EDLD 5363 web conference week 4 . 

Tonight I had the opportunity to take part in a web conference with our course Professor Dr. Abernathy. The discussion began  going over the expectations for week 4 and week 5, specifically what items were due to turn in during each week. Dr. Abernathy communicated us that we should be making progress this week on our Core Content Student Center Video Project and also keep  updating our pre-production plans. There is no assigments to submit in this week. However, in week 5 we will turn in our completed Core Content Student Center Video Project and our updated pre-production plan. She also told us to be sure to post our Final video to our e-portfolio, blog, TK20 and YouTube. She reminded us the need to submit the link to our Google doc and any evidence of our group team communication and collaborations from the past three weeks.

EDLD 5363 Web Conference Week 3

Week 3 web conference was very informative. I became a team member of L'BEAM production group for week 3 to 5 for the Multimedia and Video Technology course. I am already working on the pre-planing phase of our project called THINK (Tutoring Helps Inspire New Knowledge) and I will be helping in the copyright section and as an editor during the production of this student core content digital video project. Dr. Abernathy provided answers and cleared up the confusion about if we needed to submit a script or a storyboard. She advised us to create both as a way to learn from the experience and benefit from making either one. She also clarified the difference between both of them and the need for the story board be digital and provided samples on how to make it digital. She also stated that the storyboard could be written or drawn. Aleida one of our team member will be working on this part of the project. Some students asked what type of available freeware video editing software they could use, and there were many suggestions Imovie, Camstudio and Windows Movie Maker. I chose and will be working with Windows Movie Maker for editing our group project video.

EDLD 5363 Web Conference Week 2

Tonight’s web conference focused on clearing up question about our course requirements. There were questions about postings to the discussion board; there was a confusion regarding if we needed to post to the discussion board for week 5 due to the absence of a link for that week. Dr. Abernathy restated that she had posted on the blackboard that there is not a discussion board posting for week five. She reminded us to use these as a place for conversations about the assignments or other course related topics. She does not expect them to be used only for the specific discussion assignments or reading quotes. But rather we were advised to  use them to find a partner to discuss assignments week 1 & 2 and gather  people to form a collaborative group for weeks 3, 4, and 5, reviewing scripts, and any other topics you would like discuss and find answers.
