two minutes of me

My two minutes of me blog was done by using Google images for my photo clips, and Audacity 1.3 Beta, and Archives for the audio. The sites were opened and inputted into Windows Movie Maker. Background music was taken from an MP3 player and downloaded to the computer and copied to Windows Movie Maker. All three sites were dragged in to windows Movie Maker time-line, thus producing this two minute video about me.

My two minute video of me was done on Movie maker. I first did the photo clips, and then added the audio by using the movie maker time-line. I then had an mp 3 player with music on it, and copy the song and dragged it in to the time-line as my background music. That is the technology I used to make my two minute video of me.

The two assessments I choose were:

Ipsative Assessment and
Peer Assessment

Ipsative Assessment style--

What I like about the Ipsative Assessment style is that it always challenges you to improve on whatever you previously did, and allowing you to be the best you can be. With the Ipsative Assessment style one immediately knows where they stand amongst other individuals who are also competing in areas such as yours. With this assessment style there's no sugar coating anything, numbers don't lie. This style also shows you right where you need the improvement, so you can put total concentration on that area.

Peer Assessment style--

The value of this learning style allows you to be judged by your peers. I believe honest feedback from your fellow peers is extremely important for the students self-esteem, and personal growth. As a student/peer you might not really care what your parent/teacher has to say, but when it comes from one of your peers, self awareness starts to develop. As parents/teachers we see the individual strengths, as well as weaknesses. Students might also feel personally attacked, failure, or not living up to expectations.

The following questions were asked in class today--June 14, 2011

What is the difference between Searching verses Researching?

Searching- involves getting the answer but not the source of the answer. Searching is finding the answer but in in detail.
the quality of information is, in most cases, not particulary well-indicated

Researching- involves digging deep. like finding the mother load, original data from the original source. here is where one finds important information than just the answer, this is actual information from the event as it happened., rather than someone else's opinion after reading and re-writing the soursce.

Depending on what your curriculum is, blogs can be very beneficial
and rewarding. Blogs can also be a source of instant feedback, as well as a
loud voice when needing to communicate to the masses. Blogs are an inexpensive
way of advertising your message or product. When used for the wrong reasons,
blogs can quickly destroy someone's reputation without knowing who sent the
damaging information, (accounts can be made anonymously). Whether the
information that’s being blogged is good or bad, it reaches many in a short
time.

I believe if the blog isn't written
well the proper message can be lost due to improper communication. (The tone of
the message the blogger is intending to send is lost, and not being fully
captured as the blogger intended).

I also believe the lack of correct
communication will not allow the respondent to acknowledge the true intent of
the message the blogger is intending without being confused, and continually
asking more questions.
