This assignment required me to make a video using my camera on my iPod Touch. I started by first choosing a topic that I would do the video on. I chose how to properly throw a dart since I'm a skilled dart player. I then had my roommate tape me as I showed the audience how to hold the dart, stand correctly, and finally how to release the dart in the best manner. I then uploaded the video from my iPod Touch to Youtube and then I embedded it into my Wikispace page. I chose a topic for the video, I had it filmed, I uploaded it to Youtube, and I embedded it into it's proper place on Wikispaces. media type="custom" key="10764654"

I decided upon a topic and since I used to be a Political Science major and have toyed with the idea of teaching Social Studies I decided upon "Two Party System versus Multi-Party System". I then created a powerpoint based off of material I found online and in my Political Science books. I then exported the powerpoint from Keynote to PowerPoint and uploaded it to Slideshare. I then copied the Embed code from Slideshare and embedded it onto my wikispace. media type="custom" key="10808332"

This Power Point assignment required me to take the presentation from part 1 and add audio to it using Profcast. The audio is me presenting the information related to the presentation as if I were teaching a classroom about it. I then took the Profcast video and uploaded it to Youtube. After uploading it I then embedded it onto this Wikispace. media type="custom" key="10837983"

I created a podcast on Audacity which involved me speaking about what I thought Governor Snyder should do in his first year in office. I concentrated upon Education and Tourism in my podcast. I then saved this podcast as an MP3 and uploaded it to my Wikispace. media type="file" key="Bragdon.mp3" width="240" height="20"

For my digital story I decided to talk about my brother's wedding two summers ago. First I had to locate the pictures that I wanted and I got those from my sister who had them online. I thought figured out ones I wanted to use to tell my story and began placing them on my storyboard. I think decided what exactly I wanted to talk about in the story and wrote that down on the storyboard. I then practiced my narration and figured out how long I would need the video to be. After I figured that out I imported the pictures and put them at the correct length for the video. I then went online and found a piece of music that captured the emotion I was trying to convey. I then imported that and finally I completed the narration. After it was all complete I exported it to quicktime and then uploaded the video to Youtube. Finally, I embedded the video on my wiki. media type="youtube" key="BtQx4BkBiKQ?version=3" height="283" width="504" This assignment required me to take a picture with my iPod Touch. I then emailed myself the picture off of my iPod, and I then uploaded the picture to my individual Wikispace. After I completed that I thought of something that I enjoyed to do that students might enjoy writing about. I thought of sports so I went to the creative commons section on Flickr. I searched for sports balls or sport activities and eventually I found an image I thought matched what I wanted, I copied the HTML code to embed it on the Wiki. I created a possible assignment that I would give to my students and posted it on the wiki. I then gave proper rights to the owner of the picture and completed the assignment.

I want you to write a 2 to 3 page essay on your favorite sport and why it is your favorite sport. After you're done with that tell me about a time when you were playing the sport and you really enjoyed the time you were playing. Finally, ask one of your parents what their favorite sport is and why that sport is their favorite. If you do not like sports tell me about your favorite after school activity and then follow the rest of the guidelines the same way. This is due one week from today. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask guys!
