Weebly

1. The task was to create a professional portfolio online. " weebly". this task was sort of fun since this is the first time i am creating my own weebly.
2. honestly i dont like weebly since i have no idea what is weebly all about. weebly is sort of a social network or online form of technology where everyone can view and upadate personal information. its not until after where i saw how weebly is very important. i like weebly online because it updates information and other important information that needed to send out. the good thing about this task is that you can always add and delete information about your personal profile.
3. the challenges  was hard in the beginning but after it was pretty fun and easy. again, its just the matter of knowing how to use mac.
4.  i would say 10. because it is interesting and meaningful. everyone can be creating their own personal portfolio online instead of writing it and throwing it away.
5. creating a professional portfolio. learning profile, e portfolio. assignment, formal communication for students parents and teacher. newsletter,.

1. The assignment was to create an I movie. me and my group had fun creating this task. creating an i movie is not something new to me, i have done it before. but as fas as creating an I movie using I mac is something new to me. i kind of struggle trying to figure it out what button to click and so on. it was kind of difficult so i had to search for help. overall, creating an i movie is fun, entertaining, life changing, meaningful and awesome.
2. the challenges that i face while creating this movie was transferring the clips, transitions, themes, and other necessary key elements  in creating a movie. what went well, was using the flip cam to record the shot. it was easy and fun at the same time. on the other hand, creating the whole movie was a bit challenge, because i was not really familiar with using I mac.
3. the features that we use to enhance our i movie slow motion, transitions, cut and paste, clip adjustment and audio adjustment. there are other nice and entertaining features that would be to add on while creating  the movie. i try to add in but it was not a success.
4. i would say 10. because creating an i movie using I mac looks a lot better than creating an i movie in the PC's. it was easier  to use i mac if you know what buttons to click. where as PC's is just by following the process. step by step process. I mac is just one click and it appeared on the screen what you wanted.
5. for me, it is essential to use flip cams in the classroom. creating an I movie is part of enhancing the students higher order of thinking skills. what i will do first is to teach my students how to use the flip cams , walk through with them about creating a movie. when  i see that the skill is mastered, then i would i ask them to create one on their own. flip cams are just necessary for student learning, so as creating a movie. technology plays a good role in terms of students learning. everyone in this world are up to technology. classroom are full of technologies. students need to be taught on how to use it and why is it important to our daily life.
