Bio

If I had to describe myself in terms of how well I work with technology, I would have to say I lean toward being technologically challenged. I have very little experience with making videos. I have made a video twice before- one being the New Student Dialogue VLOG and the other being a project in high school. Both times, I posted the videos without editing because I did not know how. I tried, but gave up after an hour. For the VLOG, I used the iMovie application on my laptop and for my high school project I used my camera. I was not sure how to use iMovie and as for my other project, I did not have a program to edit movies. My high school English class was the first at my high school to receive laptops for each individual in the class and required English to be taught using laptops. In this class, we made websites and movies, but for the most part, I researched and my group members were left to figure out the technological aspects of the project. Although, I have previously made a website using wix.com and pbworks.com. I have also used other sites such as prezi.com (much like PowerPoint), glogster.com (similar to making a poster but online), and edublogs.org. Wix.com was a fairly easy to manipulate site, however I avoided making my website complex and kept it very simple. Pbworks.com was very easy to use, but there is not much you can do to make the site creative. Prezi.com and glogster.com were both very easy to work with, but I am not sure if they can be used toward the multimodal project. Edublogs.org is much like this site, where we post blogs. We were also given many more options for completing assignments in my English class such as ahead.com and toondoo.com, however, I mainly used these five.
