Hello all!

So I have the directions done.  I have sent them in both Power Point, so
you can preview it as a slide show, and as a PDF so you can print the
directions and follow them at your computer.  I made the directions very
step by step, I hope it is thorough enough, but if you do have any
questions you can reach me at this e-mail or the phone number below.

This second film is different from the first in several ways.  The main
way that it differs is I edited it for content, so there are less dead
spaces.  There is also student dialogue, but still no student faces.
The biggest way that it is different is that is not straight video from
the camera to the internet, I changed it from the MPEG2 format to a less
dense MPG4.

The video editing program came with the camera, so it was not expensive.
In order to change its format I used a moderately expensive program
called Pinnacle Studio Plus.

Pinnacle Studio Plus was just under $100.  It is not necessary for
uploading content to the internet, but it does have some bonuses.
Pinnacle allows you to do minor film editing work... adding various
clips, music, changing tints and hues, etc.  The biggest bonus I found
was to change the file format.  But the abilities of the program made me
wonder if students could video what they thought was important onto
their cell phones, send me their feed, and then I spliced that feed into
my film, could that make it more valuable to the student.

Unfortunately, these past two videos have been about math, specifically
the percentage triangle.  So how can I use this technology for literacy?
Well, there is a feature that allows one to Close Caption (CC); what if
I were able to transfer a group reading exercise to the internet and the
CC it, and ask the online participant to read along, aloud, at home,
would that help?  Is it feasible?  Would webcams help break the barrier,
etc?  What are your thoughts on breaking the barrier?
