GMAIL GROUP

Group Three gmail group has been created. Not really difficult, I just followed the directions on the tutorial. Thank goodnes for tutorials. For this assignment I worked with Traci Sullivan, Ainsley Vice and Stephanie Warren and we all accomplished what was required for the assignment. I learned how to work with people even if you do not meet with them face to face. This was a great learning experience for me.

I believe this would be a useful tool for a classroom assignmet. It would begin to teach the students how to work with people to complete a task even if they are not in the same class. Working as a cooperating group would also build students ability to cooperate with other people and learn from other people's view of the same assignment.

Movie

Well, I made my movie, not Oscar worthy, but not to bad I don't think. I'll let the viewers decide. I dreaded trying to make the movie, but when I got into it I enjoyed it. The hardest part was narrating it. I kept messing up and have to repeat myself. I could not get the music to not be so loud, could not figure that out. So the music is a little loud for my liking. Here it is hope you enjoy viewing it.

Concept Mapping

Well, I finished the concept mapping project for IT 465. The actual doing was kinda fun after I figured out what was going on with Inspiration 8. I even showed the teachers I work with and they were impressed with the program. I can see where this program would be useful in the classroom to help break down a difficult chapter or subject into smaller bites and make it easier for the students to understand. I did my concept map on School Subjects, and the icon library had everything I needed. I was glad you did not have to search and find icon to use that would have made the project a little harder. I am still having trouble down loading the attachments to submit my assignment, but I think I have got it figured out. I copied and pasted the outline to google docs; however I could not get the pictures to transfer to google docs. Below is the URL to view my outline :
