This week I am attending the Arkansas Technology Institute hosted by AETN on the University of Central Arkansas campus. Going into this week I really didn't know what to expect. Boy am I glad that I went!!!!
This week I have really learned how to effectively create powerpoints as well as web pages using Microsoft Frontpage. I have gained access to a lot of free resources, such as downloads of various programs including "audacity" which is a program for "ripping" music.
I am partnered in a wonderful group this week and for our "project" we are trying to create a useful resource for teachers who are teaching about famous people from Arkansas. Today I video taped an interview with Chuck Dovish and then "captured" the video in selected segments with the "Premiere" editing program. I also used "Audacity" to rip various songs down into segments that are less than 30 seconds long to avoid copyright issues.
I am so excited about the programs that I am learning to use!! I am also very hopeful that everything continues to flow well on our "project" to allow for us to place a very valuable resource for lower elementary teachers (yes that includes Kindergarten) on the web!
