Week 14.2

So, I tried Eyejot. It was great! This week was overwhelming for me as I am not savvy with the new stuff, but I managed to get the Eyejot video going. All of this, coming from the high of having achieved my tasks quite easily in Week 13; now, my confidence is on the floor, once again.

From the reading, I realized that there are just a plethora of platforms out there that we can access for free and adapt for educational purposes. However, my task is to find the resources (i.e., platforms) that best suit my purposes or my students. As of right now, I am also at the point of knowing that if I do not use these resources on a regular basis, I forget how to use them. But to have had familiarity with a platform already is such a plus. Audacity was something I used some 3 years ago on a regular basis, and, now that I am re-introduced to it, I find it easier and comforting to use. Okay, let’s get to this Week’s assignment. Here’s my Eyejot video. Finally, it’s nice to see all of you, too! Well, I tried to get this working. It was suggested that I made sure that my Eyejot was not on view mode. I got the HTML embed code directly from Eyejot, and here it is below. NOTHING. I would have to say that after two days and a weekend of effort, I am not going to be able to get you to my Eyejot. But believe me, I will not give up. I will continue to try and come back and edit this page until I am successful, but for now, I don’t want to be behind. So here’s my Week 14′s post. And let’s try a link. I tried the link, it doesn’t work either. Oh well…heave and sigh. Thank you, Lisa and Rachele! It works. More to come. Yeah!

Week 13

I am back with enthusiasm and excitement for the second half of POT.  And the first thing we do is explore. I love the low-threshold, low-barrier technology that is getting progressively user-friendly. I can see how many hosting sites like Flickr are quite easy to explore. Also, I understand what Ko and Rossen were saying about keeping it simple. I need to remember to create my online courses with the users in mind. Although I might be learning new ways of making my blog or webpage fancier and fancier as time goes by, I still need to think of how user-friendly it will be for my students. Well, since I explored Flickr, here’s trying to embed my image. Yeah, yeah. WordPress won’t let me use Mbedr. So here’s the link to the Orchids.
