9 Ways to Suceed in University by Kaylee and Sarina

For our final project we decided to experiment a little with putting together a film and acting. We are going to be arts ed. teachers so we thought a project like this would be something we could have our students at school do. We decided to make a funny video that reflects the good times of our first year in university. Similarily, students could make a video that reflects their year in school. We really enjoyed working on this video and enjoyed the challenge of editing and adding music to a video to make it come alive and putting it on youtube.

ECMP Final Project

Blogging Mentorship Project

 

    For this project I chose to follow Lisa Parisi’s class.  I commented on her students’ blog a few times a week.  I was however, disappointed that none of them ever responded to my comments.  I did find it amazing though, how those kids, at such a young age were able to blog like that.  They were much better than me! I think it would be neat to have a classroom of kids I am teaching, be able to feel comfortable blogging like this.  Some examples of my comments on student blogs are:

One girl wrote:  Do you know how to swim? Well I do! But I still have to go to swimming classes to touch up on my sklls. Well if you have any thoughts please comment and leave your URL!
And I commented with: Swimming is great!! I can’t wait until summer time when it is hot enough to swim outside!! Great blog Melinda!

Another student wrote about her love for piano and I responded with: That’s great that you have found something you are so passionate about! Right now I am learning to be a teacher of Arts Education and Music is an area I wish I was stronger in. Good Luck and don’t give up!

One little boy wrote about how much he loves eating at Red Lobster and I wrote: Wow sounds like you really like seafood! That is also my favorite food and I love eating at Red Lobster! I also notice that you say you like fishing, do you live by the ocean?

Even though none of the students responded I’m sure they appreciated my comments, because after all who doesn’t like it when their blog gets comments!!!

Podcasts

Today I just started listening to podcasts and downloaded quite a few.  I must say my favorites are some of the comedy ones.  I particularily enjoyed a comic strip live one.  A little humor is always a great way to livin up a homework overloaded mind!

Sending Money by Email???

okay I have to give up! There is no way my mastercard commercial is ever going to go on my blog! I haven’t been able to blog for a long time or work on anything computer related because I’ve been having computer difficulties.  But finally I got it working.  Yesterday I had an eye opening experience about all the things you can do with computers.  I did not know that you can email someone money but apparently you can.  Someone decided to be nice to me and give me money to go shopping.  Thanks to technology I am definitly not complaining!!!
