Creating a DVD part 1

Hello there!
I have spent the evening trying to figure out how the course toolkit works. I didn’t have much luck with Moodle or WebCt/Vista, but I have written to Franc to see what I am doing wrong. So given that failure and my desire to do something productive in the little time I have available, I looked into creating DVD. As per the instructions, I found iDVD on my Mac. Well that was a surprise! It is so simple to produce a DVD with a menu, slide shows, movies and music. There is an option that gives more flexibility, but the Magic DVD option lets you package your multimedia in a question of seconds. I was given a little Flip video camera from some visiting American colleagues, and it is so easy to create and edit video with that. As the instructions of the exercise state, it is necessary to have a lesson plan and the media before you start the process. This was just a trial run. Tonight I will sleep on it and hopefully tomorrow I will have an idea of what to put on a DVD for my English class. I will let you know how it goes!
