Class 9 Reflection

Class was very fun this week. If I had to go to school on my birthday, I'm glad I had technology class! :)
The reason I enjoyed class so much is that we learned about more about digital videos and had a chance to use Netscape Composer. I am excited to make a video because that is something I've never done before. The samples we looked at in class varied in quality, but they gave me some ideas for our video. It seems like taking PowerPoint to the next level–it's a real multimedia presentation! Maybe making movies is the next generation of PowerPoint. It sure sounds that way. Some of my brother's friends have created digital videos for their high school projects, and they were so impressive. I hope this is something I will see more of when I am a media specialist.
I have used Composer in other classes before, but it's kind of a quirky program so I'm glad to have the chance to learn more about it. It's nice that it is somewhat similar to PowerPoint (and that it's free), but I don't really like it all that much. I think I'm learning more about it and spending less time trying to figure out how to get things to look like I want, though.
Anyway, I enjoyed class this week (like I always do!) and I can't wait to get started on the video.
