I thought I did more than two responses earlier in the semester but I couldn’t track them down.

Blog 8 - Metacognitive Blog

Its been a long strange trip doing these blogs, I covered topics ranging from emotional intelligence to hosting videos on google maps. I've also talked about the loman home which has been a major part in our class and the driving force behind most of our training workshops. Overall I've enjoyed the class and doing these blogs to some degree, the blog portion was never my favorite assignment that's why most of mine come in spurts or groups when I do decided to post one. I don't think I've came away with to much its mostly the same things we went over last semester, I do think I can handle groups better because of the loman home projects and I did learn how to upload a video to YouTube which was a first for me. I think the one lingering question that I have left is how exactly am I going to use this once I graduate, because I have no clue about what I might be doing 6 months from now and If I am working are these skills going to pay off in what I do?

Blog 7 - Training Videos

Today I'm going to talk about an assignment we did last week. Overall I thought It was a pretty neat assignment. We had to choose from a list of topics mostly covering OpenOfice and Google Apps. We were linked to a site that had a list of topics and within each of those topics were a list of deliverables pretty simple over all. For my topic I choose GoogleMaps(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlRf78BB_Uk) and In my videos I went over how to set a default location and then how to navigate to a new location from there It was really simple. The software we used to capture the video and audio was CamStudio its open source which means its free and its pretty simple to use over all. The videos that we created are going into a wiki that was started last semester and covers alot of topics pertaining to e-learning and a bunch of other things. I enjoyed the assignment and wouldn't mind doing another one similar to it.
