This week in ICT

So this week in our ICT class we were introduced to some cool little websites to help with creating multimedia (and even the copyright free and legal way), as well as some digital storytelling programs. I thought that the Animoto website that we were given a demo on was super easy to use, and was easily able to create a pretty nice looking slideshow and with accompanying music track. Just pick a theme and upload some pictures and videos, and BINGO-BANGO-BONGO you're basically done. After that, you just have to make some minor tweaks and adjustments to make sure its up to your own liking, pick the music track that you like the best, and then you get to be happy with the results.

Next week we're moving onwards to creating our own digital story or little video, about 2 to 5 minutes worth. I'm looking forward to having to do this, although I still am not too sure at all what I am planning on doing for it. Hopefully a long weekend back home will allow me some time to brainstorm ideas and figure it out, as well as decompress and maybe even catch up on lesson plans and readings that seem to be never ending. Wishing everyone else is able to enjoy their long weekends as well. Cheers everyone!
