The Creation of the Blog!

After creating the voice threads and creating the snapshots from the film of the presentation, I created the final blog. The final blog has three voice threads. There is one that shows the creation of the igenous rock. The second one shows the creation of the mediatoric rock and the third one shows the creation of the sedimentary rock. The two movie clips are taken from the overall film I recorded. I had about 45 minutes of filming. However, I ended up only using like 12 minutes of it. I chose to place just the filming of Mrs. Williams and the children explaining and dicussing the creation of the three different types of rocks. I have to upload the video to blogger because teacher tube kept saying that the video was in the wrong format. Then I created voice threads of the three parts of the presentation to create each type of rocks. After the creation of the blog, I sent Mrs. Williams the link to the blog and asked her to send me her comments in case I need to change anything.

Filming the the Rock Cycle Presentation!

I got to film the wonderful Mrs. Williams doing a presentation on the rock cycle at the CCMS. I was amazed on how much the students wanted to know as well as the students already knew. I even left the presentation learning a lot of new information. For example, I learned how all the rocks are created and how they change from different type to different types. I saw the presentation twice. The first time I took notes about the presentation. During the second presentation, I filmed it.

CCMS Tour!

I did not get to take a tour with the group. However, I got a glimse of the school when I was there to film Mrs. Dedire Williams as she gave presentation about the rock cycle. The school was very quiet and calm. The children were very well behaved. Another thing I noticed was how excited the children were about learning. I found out that the children have a week long sheet of work that they must complete before the week is over. Another thing I relaized even in the presentation is that all of the extra activities happen during the afternoon. I also relaized how advanced the children are in their overall learning.
