1. MovieMaker Interface

2. MovieMaker Features
Online Tutorial Website (MovieMaker Tutorial)

3. Audacity
Online Tutorial Website is here.
You can find the software Audacity to record the narration. The video instructions on the tutorial site will be very helpful if you are not familiar with Audacity. You can find Audacity on On-campus desktops (Start> Programs> Multimedia> Audacity) or download it for free. (Google> Audacity). ** Make sure you read the "step 7" export your recording as a .wav file or .mp3 file instead of an Audacity file.

4. How to edit the video/ digital story telling in MovieMaker
How to embed all multimedia elements in blogs (please bring in your questions)

============
After class:

Next week is an open lab time. You can bring in the work to do in class. I will use most of the class time to meet with each group and preview the product even if it is still under construction.

Week 9 Agenda: Creating and Collecting Materials

Before class:

1. post or upload the "project plan" and "storyboard" to Wikispaces group page by Mar 3 (Monday) or Mar 6 (Thursday). Please find the word documents in the week 8 agenda (class blog). If you're working on a blog project, please describe the project as details as you can and I will give you feedback.

2. upload your Technology Inventory to Oncourse drop box. Template is in the week 4 agenda (class blog).

============
In class:

1. We WILL NOT have a class meeting this week. Please use the time to create and collect materials needed for your project. Since we've allocated the week for groups to create the materials please do schedule the time to meet with your group members and use the week wisely.

(a) images: Use the digital camera to take pictures. You may check out the digital camera in the main library Information Commons. If you're using the images that other people created for books or websites, remember to make a reference list. You will also need to use Paint, Photoshop, or other image editors to create the introduction, conclusion, reference credit slides. (If you prefer hand drawing or having something creative, you can also make those slides on paper and take a picture)

(b) sounds/ narration: You can find the software Audacity to record the narration. The Audacity tutorial site is here. The video instructions will be very helpful. You can find Audacity on On-campus desktops (Start> Programs> Multimedia> Audacity) or download it for free. (Google> Audacity). ** Make sure you read the "step 7" export your recording as a .wav file or .mp3 file instead of an Audacity file.

You can check out the microphone in the TTL (EDUC 2010) or the equipment room next to TTL. If you are doing a podcast project, it will be important to get familiar and play with audio editing software :) If you are doing a video project or a digital storying telling, you may focus more on the video clips, images, and scripts at this point and when we meet in the week after spring break, we can work on the audio recording.

(c) music: choose the music for your background music if you need for introduction, transition, ending, or some special scenes. Save it and make sure it's a .mp3 file or a .wav file. (.mp4 file will not work in the software MovieMaker)

(d) video: Create video clips. If you are doing a video project, you may need to create several video clips (For example, interviewing one student will be a clip and interviewing one teacher will be another clip). You can check out the video camera in TTL (Educ 2010) or equipment room. However, they only have limited video camera, so ask them earlier. Another option is the Information Commons at Main Library. Usually they have them in the Kencooper room ( in the basement) but you can always ask people in the Information Commons first.

When you shoot the video, make sure the video camera is held stable, you may want to check out a tripod if you need. If you are not familiar with the video camera, remember to ask a lot of questions when checking it out. :) You can also go back to Information Commons at the main library or TTL equipment room. They are usually very helpful.

(e) blogs: If you are working on a blog project, it will be okay (and great) to include other web resources but you are also required to create you're own materials. For example, you will need to create images (take pictures) and create a video clip or a audio file. They should be appropriate for the topic you choose. If you work on the blog project within a group, you may want to see if the blog hosting site supports multiple authors. (Blogger does). I've posted some information about blog hosting site on the week 8 agenda.

Note: This week I am going to present in a conference for educational technology. I will be out of town. For a few days, I may have limited Internet access. Email me your questions still, but please understand it may take me a few days to replay. :) Thanks.

============
After class:
1. After spring break we will meet to edit the video. Therefore, it is important to produce the materials before next class and always save them in a flash drive. Please bring it with you next time when we meet. Thanks.
