Google Sites

This week we learned how to use google sites. I thought it was a little bit diffcult at first but once I learned it seemed to be fairly easy. I think that this would be very useful in the classroom. I think that it would help the parents know what is going on in the classroom everyday. I think that it would be benfical to both me and to the parents. It would help elimanate some questions that parents would have. Parents would also be able to see what announcements and upcoming events that would be happening. I think that now that I know how to use it I will get great benfit out of it.

Audacity

This week I finished up my digital story. I used Audacity to mix the narration with the music. I did not like Audacity at all. I thought that it was diffcult to use. I have used other programs in the past the were much easier. My problem was I would go to record something and then it would say that there was a problem with the program and close and I would have to re-record it. Also there were places that I wanted to split the voice so I could have a bigger space between the portions and I could not get them to split. So I had to record each section seperatley so that I could move them where I wanted them. I do not think that I would use this program in my classroom. I think that there are easier progrmas out there that allow you to do more things. I don't think that this program would be easy for children to use. I think that I would find an easier program that they can do more to there story if the choose to do so.

Digital Story

I have been working a lot on my digital story this week. I have completed my story board and I think that it would be a good idea for me to teach my students. I found it very useful for doing my digital story and think that it would help my students as well. I will now be able to do my digital story a lot faster becuase I have everything laid out. I think this will be very effective for students because it will help them to organize their thoughts so that they can get their digital stories done exactly the way they want to.
