Reflections about online conferencing (thing # 13)

I chose to watch the conference Kick it up a Notch: Film School for Podcasters. I chose it because I am interested in having my students demonstrate their learning visually. After all, the most powerful way to teach history is through images.

This conference taught me quite a bit about video technique. There were many great ideas presented for film students. Unfortunately, I don’ think I was the target audience. I didn’t choose too wisely. I am looking for more guidance with sites like www.rockyou.com. I need to learn more and work with Internet based images so students can access them from anywhere and don’t need particular digital equipment. While this conference was worthwhile to those pursuing filmmaking; I think I’ll continue to play around with Creative Commons and rockyou.

I do enjoy online delivery of content. PJs and pups in bed and I’m in class. Seriously though, especially for someone who has taught in the developing world and doesn’t have access to lots of materials online conferencing/classes/videos etc.  are essential

Love it!
