Movie Making Finishing Touches
Today we need to develop a schedule to finish our movie and determine what else you might to learn from this Vision Session.
1. Read our blog
2. As a group we will go to our WIKI and click on the page entitled "Movie Schedule." We will need to edit the page and put your names in the dates/time slots that you intend to work with Mrs. Poulin on the movie.
3. On the WIKI we will create a new page to list some other things you might want to learn about while in this Vision session.
4. Work on Movie
5. Visit web sites newly posted to this site. Maybe someone will create something we can post to the blog at the end of today.

Fun with VIRTUAL ART!
During our first Monday Session of our continued TECHCAMP Students played on Art Zone sponored by National Gallery of Art (NGA). Here are 3 examples of what they created in minutes. We also viewed our video as it stands right now. We have some work to do on the video, although it appears they enjoy visiting the new sites listed on this blog rather than working in the movie!

Welcome back to Part II of TECHCAMP!!
I am so glad you decide to come back and "play" on the computer again. We MUST finish our video that is our MAIN PURPOSE over the next 6 Mondays. However . . . .
I did do some more searching for cool websites for students to use to LEARN from not just PLAY on. We are still in school and so LEARNING from our PLAY would be expected - right?
Here is your schedule for today's session
1. Check the Blog - you are doing that right now! :)
2. Check the WIKI - Your page is still there BUT I've added a NEW PAGE for ALL of US to EDIT together - Technology Presentation page - go to it and ADD/CHANGE it up so we can prepare to talk about what we've done at the Visions TECHCAMP this year.
3. Go to this National Geographic Blog, read through it, search around it, make a comment if you want to
4. Work on Movie with Mrs. Poulin - small sections at time - adding text, transitions, and sound.
5. Visit any other links on our blog that you have not visited before or look in the NEW LINKS

Friday's Schedule - Our Last "official" Day as a class
We have to finish the DETAILS of the movie. I've tried to organize things so we do a lot of copy-n-paste into for the title slides and title overlays. While 2 people work at the main computer the rest of you need to do a few things today. When you are NOT working at the main computer then you can work through this list of activities.
1. Check the blog. Keep reading below this about how yesterday went. Do the Survey.
2. Journal on your Wiki.
3. Start a NEW Word Document. Using your ANSWER from yesterday's wiki question about what you would like to talk about at our presentation TYPE 3-5 statements/phrases (you can use bullets if you know how to) you would share about the topics you chose.
4. Type your name, home phone # and e-mail, if you have one at the top of the page.
5. SAVE the document and PRINT it
6. Post a COMMENT on two other blog entries on this blog.
7. Play STOP DISASTER, at least one time. (If you played and succeeded, choose a different level or disaster to stop.)
8. Visit at least 5 DIFFERENT links listed on the RIGHT SIDE - NO FUN BRAIN TODAY!! :) Let your BRAIN do other things, try to beat some of the other games or puzzles you can get to.
9. TYPE an actual BLOG entry for our class, which will discuss the which links/games are the ones you like.

Photos, Music, Voice Recordings - Are we done yet?
The group took additional photos today of some things outside in between the rainclouds. We still need a photo of the class, the green house and old school building.
We have more Voice Recordings than we can even use in the video. We used a MP3 player that is also a digital recorder to collect thoughts from teachers. A few students discussed that voice recordings over slides with information written on them would not "look" or "sound" right. We plan to use music over such slides and try to insert voice recordings over photos with no major information written on them.
As for Music, we found public domain, free downloads of music. It was mostly classical in nature, however one student came early to "listen" to some of it and choose a few songs to use in the movie. It was a great site, very well organized, check out the link.
