Return to Weekly Journal Page
= Return to Tech Camp page = This was a very busy week for the planning of the courses for tech camp next week. I created multiple screen casts for my classes so that teachers could watch those instead of me having to repeat myself many times to describe how to complete a certain task on a website. I created screen casts for the digital storytelling and Windows MovieMaker courses that I am teaching.

In order to effectively teach teach the MovieMaker course, I uploaded images to flickr (provided the link) and pointed the teachers in the direction of a royalty free music site. This way, they would have project files to use to create a training movie during the session. I was modeling my instruction after the trainings that we watched on Lynda.com because I felt like it was very helpful to me to use that model for learning a new tool.

I also created an agenda for both courses so that I could focus myself and also the participants in the class. First on both of my agendas is an icebreaker/instroductions so that I can learn the participants names if I don't know them already, but also to set a positive learning environment.

I created a form for the people in my PLP group to share information so that we could easily contact one another over the summer.
