Philosophy of Education

This is a little bit embarrassing to admit, but when I started this project, I had absolutely no idea how I was going to accomplish it.  The ideas that I had about how I was going to bring it all together were so out there, I don't even want to discuss it.  I was very amazed at how easy it was to put a movie together.  I had originally imagined a video, and PowerPoint, and some how combining those with a CD playing in the background to get my final project. Well I wasn't going to mention my ideas, but at least you know where I was coming from now. Thanks to Jason's helpful tutorials, it was a lot less confusing than I had imagined.  I had a great time putting the movie together. I got pretty excited thinking about how my students could use this technology in my classes.  
I again had some issues with uploading my video to YouTube, and after some initial frustration, I was informed that 321 MB is quite a big file.  I was able to downsize the file, and I successfully uploaded my first video to YouTube.  You can check it out here.
Well, this will be my last post until after the holiday season.  I hope you all have a great holiday, and I look forward to working with you all on the second half of our journey.  It is all down hill from here!
