Weebly Project

1. Description of assignment?
The assignment was to create an account on weebly which serves as an e-portfolio for everyone.

I enjoyed it because it was easy to work with. It allowed me to add pages of what I wanted people to know about, and also allowed me to add photos.

3. What were the challenges?
I did not really encounter any challenges which was a plus for me because I am still learning to use computers.

4. How would you rate this site on a scale of 1-10?
I would rate it at a 10 on the scale because it was fun, fun, fun!

Week 7

iMovie Project

1)Describe the assignment given?

The assignment was to get in a group of 3 or 4 and create an iMovie project that features a product that will enhance learning in the classroom.

2) Describe the challenges of working with the flip cams in creating your commercials? What went well? What are the challenges?

The challenges were minimal because the flip cam was pretty simple to use. I believe the only challenges we encountered when doing this project, was the schedule to meet.

3) What features did you use to enhance your iMovie and would have done anything different?

Our group used sounds, transitions, and other cool features the Mac had to offer:)

4) Rate iMovie software 1-10. Why?

I would rate the iMovie software a 10. It is very easy to work with the iMovie compare to MovieMaker. I enjoyed editing the movie because it was sooooooo easy:)

5) How would you use iMovie and flip cams in your future classroom. Explain?

These product are great for anyone. The flip cams are easy to use. They have a few buttons and they are easy to operate. The iMovie are also really simple to work with. I would have my students use these products when creating a project for school.
