Diigo

I just set up an account with diigo and I love it! For my major projects this year, I have been posting all of the links that the students would need on progress book. This shouldn't be the case, but some students cannot get into progress book except on their home computer where the password is saved! This would be a great place for me to post the links and let students add other links. I also like how I can leave comments for them about my favorite links, etc. I have not tried to start a group for my classes yet, but I am going to try it next quarter for my communications project. I love finding out about these fun new websites! And it was so easy!

Digital Story

I've been working on my digital story with my communication students in movie maker. We've had a few problems with video - the only video I can add is a united streaming video (saved as .wmv) or a video that they take on their own (I think I can add this). Other than that, they can't download videos from the internet and save it in their public folder to upload into movie maker. This has been frustrating for some students who have found good videos.

Audacity is a great program, but sometimes freezes up and students lose their work. They also have trouble with the functions sometimes not working, and they have to restart the program.

We are now beginning to record our voices, and hopefully be done with the project next week!
