EDLD 5363 - Week 5 Web Conference
It's hard to believe this is our last week in this course. It has gone by very quickly!! Of course, adding in the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays helped to speed things along.
This week, Dr. Abernathy shared quite a bit of very important information regarding our assignments and what is actually due to complete this course. First, there is no discussion board assignment for this week. We are to spend the entire week working on our video, and will have a break from discussion board requirements. Second, there is no final exam reflection paper due. There was some miscommunication between EPIC and Lamar, and EPIC lost the assignment information. Third, we do need to post reflections from 3 different web conferences to either our blog or or wiki. Some sources said two, we will need to post three. All three can be included in the same post if needed.
Again, we were encouraged to make use of different Web 2.0 tools. Take time to explore and find out what works for our needs, what we like/dislike, and make sure and share all information with our principals. Our e-portfolio should include all artifacts and information from classes. We can use whatever Web 2.0 tool we want, blog or wiki, but we need to make the decision on which one to use. We are making decisions as leaders! I've enjoyed the opportunity to discover new Web 2.0 tools and to use them during this course. www.dropbox.com is an amazing tool for saving and sharing files, and www.docs.google.com is perfect for collaboration between peers and colleagues.
Questions were asked about the Principal Certification part of our program. If you want principal certification, then during the last course, you will take the LCE. You must make an 80 on the exam. Then, you pay money and take the ILD at the Region 10 Center. We will take the LCE as part of this program anyway.

EDLD 5363 Week 4 Web Conference
This web conference provided a lot of information about out PSA assignment, and what is due for weeks 3, 4, and 5. Week 3 is all about planning and pre-production, week 4 is to be spent working on filming and putting together the PSA, and week 5 is post-production. The total length of PSA should be one minute, plus about 20 seconds for credits. The week 5 assignment is due Friday, December 16th.
Several tips were given by Dr. Abernathy in regard to filming our PSA. When filming, shoot at least a couple of minutes on each shot so that you will have way more film than you need. Then, when piecing together, you will have different shots to pick and choose from to create a final product. We are encouraged to use as many different programs as we can when producing. For example, use www.audacity.com for the narration and sound, and use a different video editing tool to produce the video. Be careful when adding music, it may be louder than your narration. We will also need to include creative commons copyright information on final video product.
Several questions were asked about our e-portfolio and what documents should be included. Basically, our e-portfolio is a Web 2.0 tool that we use to document all of our work for all of our classes. It should include documentation and artifacts that lead up to the final product for each course. Our final video needs to be uploaded to TK20 and posted to our wiki. Group collaboration and documentation should be posted to our wiki as well.
