11/5 Hours 2 hours, 2:-4:15 Comments I will be setting up a blog next week. I will get a list of possible blogging software to you, there are lots out there. You can look them over and make a choice you are comfortable with. Offhand I can think of Wordpress, eblog, Blogspot, Edublog, Blogger but I am wondering if there is a particular one that is best for Foreign Lang.

11/12 Hours 2 hours Comments I didn't get to the blog. I did update my bio page and added a photo. I used Contribute to do this. I read some about using Google Docs to set up a collaborative doc for my class.

11/19 Hours 1 hour Comments I let Nancy know what to add to my index page. I worked in iMovie to edit footage I imported from a vhs tape. Dorothy will let me know the name of the software she recently learned about that will allow collaborative work. The program I mentioned is EtherPad http://etherpad.com/

12/10 Hours 1 1/2 Comments I worked on an iMovie project. Dorothy helped me understand the interface of iMovie 9. I added clips, titles and transitions. It is ready to export to iDVD and to burn. Cool, it will be interesting to move to that phase and set chapters.

1/14 Hours 1 hour. Comments I worked on Study Stack.com setting up flash cards to use as mid year review. This is a great tool. It seems pretty easy to work with, not bad for a freebie.

1/21 Hours 2 hours web searching for graphics to use on a Promethean flipchart and creating Study Stacks for mid year review. Comments

1/28 Hours 1 1/2 hours. Comments I set up another Study Stack for Spanish 1 and built a new DW webpage for it. This page needs to be linked to the "Spanish 1" page in the sidebar on my site main page. I will add similar "stack pages" for the other classes. OK, I need to do that for you. I requested DW for you.

2/4 Hours 1 1/2 hours Comments Skip showed me how to connect to my site via Dreamweaver and then through Contribute. He linked the "Spanish 1" on my homepage sidebar. Then I made 2 more study stacks and linked to them from that Spanish 1 page. I think you are going to enjoy working with both programs. DW will allow you to clean up code and add some extras.

2/11 Hours 1 hours Comments I think I made a template from my Spanish 1 page. Then I used it to make 2 more pages...Span4 and Span4H. I need to have them linked from the sidebar. At present the sidebar links go to the info / schedule page only. I also updated Study Stack links on the Spanish 1 page. I linked to a couple of your pages but I am not sure if I have the correct ones, please check. I will show you how to do this in class or before if you want to catch up with me before Thursday.

3/18 Hours 1 hour. Comments Dorothy helped me set up a Moodle site where I could display student made videos.

3/25 Hours 1 hour Comments Dorothy tried uploading student videos to the Moodle. One was too large so she tried uploading it to the FL video space on the movies server. However, there was a problem "finding" the video's address on the server. Also, I tried to modify my webpage for Spanish I by using Contribute. I was not able because the message said "I could not do that on another computer" although I was on the only computer I have ever used, my laptop. It seemed to indicate that I was blocked by Nancy. I started building new study stacks and will need to link them to my class pages.

Skip and I have figured out a way to get your movies to the server. Will show you in class or when you get a chance.
