Web Tools

I have never had a good grasp on how to use all of the neat tools available on the web. This week we worked on making ourselves familiar with all of these tools. We learned how to create a web page, how to use the internet to edit a photo, and how to use video communication on the web. One of the most difficult was the photo editing task. There are just so many different possibilities there that it is hard to familiarize yourself with it all. I don't know if i will be using the photo editor very much because i am fairly familiar with photoshop and iphoto. I am very glad that I learned how to create a web page. I think i will be using that skill a lot in my future, both in my teaching endeavors and my personal life as well. Good skills to have!

Here are our plans for the video.

Newton is Amazing!

Probably one of the funniest portrayals of Newton's Law you will ever see!
Fun, and informative.

Video in the works

Carla and I will be making a fabulous film demonstrating Newton's first law. Carla had this great idea as she was watching While You Were Sleeping and saw a poor little newspaper boy totally biff it on his bike because of the ice on the road. We discussed the phenomenon and decided it would be a great way to demonstrate the idea of "an object in motion stays in motion". We are going to expand upon this idea by using other similar clips that portray the principles in Newton's first law. We're hoping to put it all to a beautiful song from the nutcracker. We think it will be great.
