9/28-10/2
So, what's next?
Last week some of us had trouble uploading our flip vids to this blog. Today, I will go over using Vimeo, a video site like youtube, not blocked here at school. I will also introduce you to blogger and expect each of you to set up your own blogs.
Here is a list of your responsibilities:
1. Post Voicethread to the Blog and make sure you have comments - If this is not done by 9/29 you will not get points for this assignment.
2. Take flip video related to your Voicethread topic, edit video with Flipshare, and post to Walking on Hot Coals using Vimeo.
3. Create your own personal blog related to your topic.
Check the Blog Criteria
Below is a test video embedded from Vimeo and compressed in Imovie.

cell phones
I think that students should be allowed to use their cell phones during school hours. If it is at lunch I don't really see a problem, along with may others. Also I feel that we should be allowed to use them in between classes as long as we are not late. Some people have medical issues that they may need to have a cell phone on them or some family issues or anything. If it is not interfering with your classes I think that it is not a problem.

Hey you guys,
Still missing work from most of you. Check old posts on the blog and Power School for your responsibilities. Right now, Raven is the closest to being complete. Most of you have not commented on all Voicethreads or posted your Voicethread. I am also looking for Blog Evaluations from almost all of you too.
