Multimedia Project/IIC Entry

We finally submitted our IIC project this Friday after many hours of frustration. Filming and editing a video is fun, but it also always manages to take much more time than you would expect. We had a lot of complications along the way: incompatible file formats, sound clips that didn't make any sound, and a youtube video that wouldn't show up on any searches. In the end, we were able to resolve all of the problems (the last problem seems to have resolved itself after we gave up) and I think we all learned a lot in the process. Hopefully with more practice there wouldn't be so many problems in the future. I think that participating in the competition was a good opportunity to reflect on how to best use technology to truly support students' learning. I also had fun watching the other teams' videos and seeing what ideas they had.

Here is our video; the rest of our materials our posted on this page of my website.
