I think I got it!

I accidentally deleted the second video I created, so I created a new version of it.
This version though I think is better. It has more questions for students to think about when watching the video, and it also includes credits at the begining of it.
I included the credits at the begining of the video because I could not edit the video I did not create (the Argentinian add video). Ideally, credits would go at the end, but since I was not able to put the two videos together, and thought that in between would be too disctracting, I put the credits at the begning of the video I could edit.
There it goes, my first published video on the internet, and an educational one, one that I think of using in future classes!

Videos sobre el fútbol en Argentina

I edited a bit more the video. However, I am struggling to connect the two videos and make a full presentation like that. It seems like I will have to post them separately, and also separately write questions for students to answer by watching the videos.

Not the best week

I was sure I had saved the video I edited, however, I cannot find it anywhere. Since time is short, I will post some video, not one that I have created, but which I hope will help teaching about a cultural aspect of a Spanish-speaking country. I actually found the video. It is about football in Argentina. I am thinking about combining it with a video found in youtube, an add that came for the world cup in 1998.

Changing my multimedia project

The google earth proved to be too much for me.
I decided to edit a video, which I will be posting soon-probably tomorrow-on my site.

Victory!!!

It seems like I was finally able to make my poll work!
It would have like it be different, but if it works, it works.

Multimedia project

I am still trying to clean up my website. For now though, I want to focus on my multimedia project.
A couple of years ago, for a pedagogy class I ineterviewed several people from different Spanish-speaking countries. The interviews were on cultural aspects of those countries, and peculiarities of each of each country. The videos have not really worked, mostly because of the poor quality of the camera I recorded them in. I would have liked to record them again, since I would give them much use. However, since the assignment is on using technology that I have not used yet, I am planning to use google earth and show my students a project they could do for the class. The project will consist of a 3 minutes video showing and describing a place in a Spanish-speaking country, and talk about the kind of activities people can do in that place.
I will post the script later on.
Here is are the first two images that I want to show (hopefully I will figure out pretty soon how to do it!)

Busy with my site

My site is keeping me busy. It has been a bit harder than expected to be able to edit what came with google and what I want to appear in my site.
I have not been able to figure out how to take posts for announcements or homework. The links "edit post" are still showing. My calendar is not for a full month, but I think I got the idea on how to make one and update it. My poll....my poll, I tried, but it is clearly not very good. I will keep working on it tomorrow, so that it actually looks and acts like a poll. Any suggestions on how to make a poll?
Well, something that I have learned is that even though Google provides much material to create a website, it still takes a lot of time to create one, at least until you get use to do it. Also, in the future, I would take more time to invest on this assignment.
At least I can say that due to this class and its requirements, I am learning about technology and how it can be used for pedagogical purposes. In addition, I am loosing my fear towards technology and feel more confident in exploring how to do gadgets and change settings for both blogs and websites! :)
