My first full year of blogging has come and gone. I have written about 30 posts and have received somewhere around 40 comments. I am very thankful for my faithful 6-7 readers who have taken the time to read my posts over the last year.
I have learned so many more things than I have taken the time to share. My goal for this year is to document more closely some of my projects. Whether it is ideas and tips on how to use Picasa to help speed up your digital storytelling project, or how to get Windows Movie Maker to do what you want it to do and when to let go and learn a more sophisticated program. There is so much more that I can share.
I am happy with my blogging experience to date and hope to keep sharing and posting more often. I hope you enjoy.
Since my last post about my CSA. I have been busy. I have completed several big projects both at school and at home. I haven't taken the time to post anything yet. Here is a brief outline of what is going on:
- I completed an intense June summer school session that called me to complete over 40 pages of writing. One big project was to synthesize my thoughts and opinions on the administration of a library media program. You can read what I have to say online at my Library Media Notebook.
- My summer assistantship has been filled up with multimedia development for the Saint Cloud State University College of Education. I documented a teacher preparation conference and have edited over 6 hours of video associated with the event. More will be posted online soon.
- Another big project for me this summer has been creating my cousin's wedding slideshow. It has been so much fun. Check out this short clip:
- Tomorrow I will be meeting with my connection at St. Cloud Apollo High School to sketch out a draft of a digital storytelling project with ELL students. Check out some of the research I have been doing with regards to digital storytelling to help struggling writers.
