My latest work involves the creation of my first video...no, not that kind. It's part of my last class for the summer. DIME has the potential to change some aspects of my classroom and open new doors. It's also a good reminder that humor is an important part of the classroom. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself!
After wasting much of the week trying to find a camera, and then most of today working to get one that my computer likes, I finally have a working piece of equipment that should fit the bill. I'll see what happens soon. My only concern now is getting used to the MS software and editing the creation. The story board is done, the location chosen and the actors "hired", so I guess it's time for "action". Hope it all goes well! My directorial debut is not far in the future!

Some times working with the pocket digital cameras that will do video will be a lot less hassle. I know of a number of teachers that do video with them and don't bother with the larger digital video cameras. I have done it with both and they are both useable (depending on what you need for a finished copy). I have special software for editing video and yet most times end up in XP's Windows Movie Maker. If you have an iMac you will find that iMovie is about as good as they come! That is one area that Apple has a real edge over a PC!
