Here is my storyboard for the video presentation. I have never done this before, please give me feedback as to if I'm on the right track or not and any suggestions you have.
Thanks, Mel
Storyboard Video Presentation
Apparently you have to create an account on Prezi in order to view my storyboard, sorry. It's free and all you need is your e-mail and a password. =)
If the above link does not work. Try this one:

Will not give me permission to view you storyboard.?????
ReplyDeleteAlright! I did get that to work and your storyboard looks great! Explain the avatar thing to me a little further. That looks like an interesting piece. :-)
ReplyDeleteCharlene,
ReplyDeleteThanks. When you join Second Life you have to create an avatar in order to be a part of the virtual world. It is how you get around and mingle with others. You can make it look like you actually do or create something totally different. =) I have really enjoyed the research on this topic. It has changed my mind on the use of simulations in distance learning. I even think it could be possible to use something like Second Life in high school classrooms as well.

I am going to have to try this Second Life thing out! I am looking for stimulating things for my 8th graders.
DeleteHey Charlene,
DeletePlease let me know how it goes. I have a friend that teaches middle school and she refuses to try any social media programs in her classroom due to the possible negative things that could happen and the possible misuse by the kids. I have shared all of my research with her to no avail. If I were still teaching I would definitely be trying at least one of the social media programs we have been researching this quarter in my classroom. Good luck to you.
Mel
Mel,
ReplyDeleteI have been working on my presentation, but haven't uploaded it to a site such as Elluminate of Prezi because I have absolutely no idea as to how to use either one of them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, we are having to create a storyboard in Dr.T's class. What is the difference in that assignment than what we are doing for this class? This is all new to me and I feel like I am fumbling my way through it :)

Hey Danita,
ReplyDeleteThis is all new to me as well. My orchestra director is getting his masters in instructional technology at Walden, so he has helped me out tremendously. =) I just went to prezi.com and set up an account and taught myself how to use it. I would be happy to help you anyway I can. Do you have a Skype account? We can get on Skype and I can walk you through it. Yes, we have to make a storyboard for Dr. T as well, but that presentation is not an actual video. I went to Google Docs and started my presentation there because Dr. T told me we could not use PowerPoint. I will email you my Skype ID and phone number. I would be happy to help you just call. =)
