Tool 7 digital Photo Story Take Two

I have created a summer activities video. Hopefully it will give the students other things to do at the beach or lake. This is my second try to upload my photo story.

Assessment

I will use videos for my students for additional activities. I will also refer them to websites so they can follow their own special interest such as volleyball camps, cheerleading classes, etc. Trasforming my learning - not really sure yet, I will work with other HF teachers for their ideas and input regarding this. The unexpected outcome for me was the extensive time and confusion. I am just not techno savvy and have a very limited knowledge base for this.

Tool 10 Digital citizenship

There is a ton of concern and caution students and all individuals need to use when using all aspects of these programs. I am learning this first hand with some of my comments made during my hours of working on these programs and the frustration I have felt. I am glad for the edit key but should use the draft key first and the publish key after I have calmed down and read what I have written.

Tool 9 Skype

Screencast could help students document their own workout activities to share and motivate other students. Skype could be used for interactive activities and classes with online instructors.

Tool 8 Videos - muscle conditioning and stretching

I have included a muscle conditioning video for students to help with calorie burning and strength. Along with that is stretching for muscle regeneration and relaxation. This could be used to provide students and their families with lots of at home opportunities they could do together. My videos are stuck on my desktop, still working on that function. Any advice?

Tool 7 digital Story Telling

I have created a summer activities video. Hopefully it will give the students other things to do at the beach or lake.

Tool 6/Wikis

I am still processing how I could use this with my students. I see our team using it for coordination of program task and details.

Tool 5

It is completed. Ck out my 5 minute workout video. This whole experience has been a work out.

Tool 4

Thank you Terri, my mentor, I picked you to follow. Looking forward to reading and learning from you.

Tool 3

Ok, I completed it but can't edit it to read breathe instead of breath. I have been taking many breaths and not actually breathing through this experience. Not having fun yet and am still completely clueless. So far I have had 4 experts try and help me with this and everyone has a different way of doing things. I need the black and white versions of how to do things not options.

Tool 2

I know this is an important source of communication. I have a college and a high school student. Their teachers at A&M and at Stratford HS have been using blogs to communicate with them in many situations.

According to my kids it is time I joined the 21st century. I am just getting the hang of texting. I do however strongly believe that this should not take the place of verbal communication. I force verbal communication on my kids. Remember that people only hear 7% of your words and that 93% is body language and tone. Something to be considered and remembered.
