Moodle

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

Moodle is not new to me, so the initial steps in the eTool-Kit were not too challenging.  I added a graphic, and moved things around a little bit.  After getting the introduction and ice breaker set up, I watched several Youtube clips on Moodle, and looked through a few sections of the Moodle support resources.  […]

Synchronous Communication Tools

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

I decided I needed a boost of confidence, so I chose to look at synchronous communication tools today.  I haven’t been chatting long, but have used several synchronous tools, including options in Moodle, MSN, Skype, Vista, Facebook, and iChat.  For a group project, this week I was introduced to Elluminate that worked well, but I […]

Web Design and HTML Authoring

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Overwhelmed and ready to cry at this point. Will be back to relook at this once I’m able to get myself out of the fetal position and out from underneath the kitchen table. Let’s just say I’m totally lost. HTML was designed to terrify me.  And there’s definitely no mental block happening here….

iMovie

Here’s my first attempt….. . Kaitlin at the Sam Steele Days Parade (June 1010) I found it quite challenging to get this video here.  Thanks to my amazing mother who helped me work through some issues, it’s now here.  I’ve started a resource file to keep notes and hints about the things I’m learning.  I […]

mLearning

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

So this is where I have to stand up and admit I own no mobile devices.  Actually, that’s not quite true.  I have an eight year old cell phone that I have a “pay as you go” plan for, and I use once every two or three months.  I have it just for emergencies.  It […]

Creating a DVD

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Today I played with iDVD.  I imported a video of my daughter dancing at a parade (yes, she was priceless!) and in mere moments my DVD was done.  It was SO easy. What took longer was when I decided to try to edit my clip.  I searched and searched and could not do it.  So […]

Flight Path

Monday, May 16th, 2011

I’ve just created my flight path for this course.  There are so many options and so many things that I either should or would like to learn more about.  I was somewhat surprised by my goals.  I’m not often technologically bold, so I’m about to venture forth on quite the learning path.  You can read […]

A Bit About Me

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Just thought I’d share a bit about me: My husband and I have 5 children, ages 24-4 (pictured are the youngest two) I’ve been teaching since 1994 I teach at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, BC, and also teach one morning per week in a local elementary school in a tech support/mentoring […]
