EDLD 5363 - Week 2 Reflection

This was a long week for me.  We got knocked out of the football playoffs last Friday and started basketball with an out of town game on Tuesday and a basketball tournament this weekend.  And to top it off I came down with a miserable cold.  This was a fun assignment.  I learned a lot about the different video editing systems that are out there.  I was afraid of having to use Audacity, but it was a easy application to download and use. I wanted to do a video podcast and was researching screen capture software and thanks to Travis Patocka, I found screencast-o-matic.com.  This was another software download that was painless and fun to work with.  I could have used my built in web cam to do it but the upgrade was $20.  It was fun to create my video podcast. Luckily my sore throat cleared up enough for me to narrate. I was about to bash my head into a wall when I uploaded the wrong video to YouTube and deleted the file that I wanted to use.  But, I was able to find the old file, thank you screencast-o-matic, luckily it kept the last file I saved.  This was tough, but fun week for me.  I liked looking at all the free software out there.  I will definitely share what I have learned with my fellow teachers.
