Well, I spent a great deal of time on the weekend working on creating a DVD of video and images from a trip I took with my wife to Vegas over Spring Break this year.  The software that I used was NTI CD and DVD Maker.  I have it on both my laptop and my […]

During my time in this program I have become far more familiar with weblogs than I had been before.  I actually find them to be an easy way for people to have a presence online.  I know for someone like me who doesn’t have alot off html experience (although I’ve been learning in ETEC 590 […]

Well, I finally finished the video for my Moodle course.  It has been quite the adventure.  I have filmed, edited, and rendered numerous times and experienced several different levels of frustration that I didn’t know existed.  To make a long story short, I don’t own a good video camera (unless you count my little Kodak […]

I haven’t had a lot of experience with synchronous chat platforms.  In previous courses I have used things like Elluminate rooms and the Wimba platform.  Of the two, I much preferred Elluminate.  I found the interface to be easier to use and the whiteboard feature was nice too.  In one Elluminate session I was in, […]

This week’s discussion within a wiki environment was a little different than our usual discussions that we hold within the Vista course shell.  The wiki space felt like we were flying without a net because the whole process seemed a little more self (or group) directed.  One of the group members immediately created a new […]

Okay, I’ve spent way too much time trying to get my website up on Bravenet and I’m having zero success.  I haven’t found the site to be at all helpful.  Either I’m completely missing something or the site isn’t very intuitive.  I’m going to investigate some other options before I give up. Ken

Okay, I just learned something.  If I click the link to my ePortfolio when I am not logged into my courses then all that appears is the text and nothing else.  I’m going to have to try uploading it to one of the free hosting sites and see if that works.  I’ll get back to […]

Well, I thought I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone here by reflecting on my experience setting up my draft ePortfolio for ETEC 590.  I spent the weekend drawing it up in Dreamweaver and found the experience to be sometimes frustrating.  This is mainly because I have no knowledge of html.  In the end […]

Well, I’ve completed the communication tools assignment.  I chose a discussion forum and a chat space within the Moodle course shell for my Social Studies 11 living standards project.  I chose to stay within the Moodle framework becasue I’m not that terribly knowledgeable in communication tools.  I’ve never used Skype, don’t use MSN or any […]

Well, I’ve just completed my first attempt with the Audacity software for audio capture.  Overall, I found that the process went very smoothly with no glitches.  The installation of the software was very easy and there was a link on the website to the LAME MP3 software that also installed very easily.  Once I had […]
