Tonight I am frustrated with technology. As a non-native it takes me much longer to learn a new technology. Sometimes, it also takes time to figure out what I want to do with the technology when I do learn it.
I tried for several days to watch the tutorials on Animoto. That did not come to fruition. I emailed Tech support and will hear from them at some point. However, today my project is due. I watched some videos and thought I had a pretty good idea of how to make my own video. At 10:57 I finally figured something out and it was due at 11. I did not make the deadline. Not only did I not make the deadline but the video was not what I really wanted. Sometimes I equate Technology with the Military, in that it is, hurry up and wait!
I will say that I like Animoto. The backgrounds were varied, as was the music. I think my elementary students will like video I produced. Really, I am looking forward to making use of this technology throughout the school year. Hopefully, some of the senior school teachers will allow their students to use this for projects.
