Podcasts

So today, in DCT class we learned about Podcasts. We will have to find and listen to two Podcasts and then review them. After that we need to decide on a topic for a Podcast that we ourselves will do. How exciting! Lets see--what subject could I talk about for three minutes?  I think I might choose quilting. Something like how to pick fabrics.

Making Movies...

This week in Digital Communication Technology class we shared are videos or movies that we have been working on the past few weeks. This for me personally was a struggle. In the end, I liked what I shared with the class. I enjoyed seeing what everyone else had done, they all turned out great. We had a very diverse group of movies covering many different aspects of all our lives.  So to all my fellow students, I say well done!

 Next we delve into instant messaging done through the world of business. We all use instant messaging in our personal lives but now we will get the chance to see it work in the world that business runs. Have fun with it and remember to play.

MSTC In-service

Hi Everyone,

So, this week is a quiet week, we are continuing to work on our Futuremaker videos. In my case, let us say struggling. I still do not have a firm direction or even an idea of how I want this video to look. Maybe it is because we have rules to follow and I almost always get creatively stymied when there are too many rules. Then I get frustrated, unable to marry the final product (in my head) with the rules. I will eventually get there but there are some growing pains along the way. I hope my fellow classmates are fairing better. See you all next week.

Work Day

Hi everyone. 
So this week in Digital Communication Technology class, we had a work day. We are continuing to work on our videos for our Futuremaker project. I am not feeling confident with the project but isn't that the purpose of the assignment. Get us out of our comfort zone and try something new, so that we become more comfortable with different technologies. Right now, I just don't have a clear direction for what I want to do. Not sure how I see myself, as a Futuremaker, that seems to be a big problem. All I can do is try something and do my best. See you next week.

Digital photo edits

This week we shared our digital photos which we were to edit in any way we saw fit. This was an opportunity to play, to enhance your photo or perhaps take a more artistic route. The class did great as usual. Some of mine turned out like I wanted them to and others did not. This class is about learning our new technologies. In a way, it forces us to become children again and play with our new toys. This is a very good thing provided we all remember not to put pressure on ourselves to be perfect. In life there are many happy accidents. This is one of mine. What do you think?

Digital Photos

Today we shared our digital photos for the various rules as part of our assignment. All I will say is that everyone did great. There were lots of great pictures of kids, flowers, animals. I found the framing shots to be very creative. What a great class. I had so much fun taking pictures.

Today's lesson...

So, today we learned all about digital photos and how to take great ones. We also learned about how to create a wiki. A wiki is a better way to collect and organize information with a group of people over the internet, than via emails. I can't wait to see some of the photos my classmates will have taken, it should be fun.  Happy shooting everyone.
