EDLD 5363
This week we had an interesting assignment that asked us to select a video edtiting software and evaluate its effectiveness, and then create a podcast tutorial that explains how to use the software. For this assigment, my experience was definitely a learning experience because I ran into quite a few "technical difficulties." However, Dr. Abernathy put me at ease during this week's web conference when she explain the flexibility of the assignment.
I'm very much a perfectionist, and I like to try to follow directions to the letter, and make sure that I have done quality work. However, with this assignment, I was facing computer difficulties with software that wouldn't download, files that wouldn't convert, and copyright laws that governed my actions. Thankfully, Dr. Abernathy discussed with us the flexibility of technology, and how different converters such as LAME, could help us share files on our eportfolios. She also talked to us about the importance of us trying new things to challenge ourselves. I like that she is was so encouraging toward us during this project, because it is easy to get frustrated when you have no idea if you're completing the assignment correctly.
After she explained the assignment in further detail, I was able to finish my project and post it to youtube successfully. The most important lesson I've learned this week is that since technology has the capability of being flexible by providing different codecs applications and software choices, we too should be flexible users, and prepare for the unexpected. Besides, it is after all, a learning process.
