It was fun to put this together, we had a good time planning it. I really feel like  our team worked well together. We met online for a quick chat session to divide up our responsibilities. As I had access to actors, cameras, and the best editing software, I did most of the video and editing. Norm had the best narrator's voice and a music background, so he recorded the narration and got us the music (from the public domain). He also provided us with some cemetary footage for our intro. La Sheonda and Karen wrote and edited the script (with input from Norm and I). It was great all the way around!

I am upset about the video quality on YouTube - it looks much better on my PC, but something seems to be happening in the automatic conversion that YouTube does...it's too pixelated. UGH.

I was also unhappy with the 60 second time limit - I really wanted to include a slide with our credits, but you can't really read it because it's not up long enough (or big enough). So here's that slide.

credits (600 x 450)

All in all, this was a fun project...just a little untimely due to the 4th of July holiday and the close of the school year (one of my busiest times of year). Still...I couldn't have asked for a harder working group of people! I loved my group!

Today marks the start of classes for my second Masters' degree. This one is in Educational Technology Leadership. What the hell was I thinking?

It's not that I don't want to get the degree, and I'm not afraid of the work...I'm just amazed at how I always seem to set myself up for extra activities right in the middle of crunch time at work! EEK!

We're planning our Tech Learning Fair, Science and Math summer camp, Cyber Safety Month, and Summer Institute. Holy crap in a hat, Batman...I've lost my mind! Ah well...sanity is over rated. Besides, how can I go wrong with a class that suggests David Warlick and Miguel Gulin..and Wes Fryer. All of them are old friends from my Google Reader. At least I know I'll like the reading material!

Wish my crazy butt luck! LOL!
