Class 11 Reflection

Today in class I learned lots of new things. I have never made a digital movie before, so it was so much fun to play around with Windows Movie Maker. I brought some pictures from my Mexico trip to make into a digital video, but the computer froze before I saved it. Oh well. After class I tried to download Movie Maker onto my own computer, but I don't like Microsoft's webpage. I couldn't find what I was looking for! That's pretty hard for a future media specialist to admit, but it's true. :)
I am excited to create the video. I like our group's idea and I think we'll have a fun time bringing everything together. I'm still somewhat apprehensive about the project in that it's something completely new to all three of us, but I'm glad it's a pass/fail assignment and that we'll have some time in class to ask you questions! I'm sure we'll have plenty...
I know I have mentioned this before, but I am still very frustrated with Netscape Composer. I tried to tweak my webquest in class today, but when I checked on it in my room there were still some idiosyncracies in it. My links are a strange color and I can't change it no matter what I try. I figured out how to download my page onto my computer and upload the changed page, but I give up! Overall I like the way it turned out, but there are still some things I wish I could fix. I know Composer is free and I appreciate that, but when I work as a media specialist I hope the school has a software program that's not so frustrating (or a webmaster!). At least I feel more comfortable with creating webpages. I know that I can do it, but I either can't be a perfectionist or else I have to figure out a more efficient way to work out the little design flaws. Until then, I'll try not to pull my hair out!
