Survey

take my survey please :)

Please watch my video and take the survey! :D

Reflection 3/6/12

Today, I was able to do most of the evaluating tables and added some pictures and interviews to my video. Gabriel came to our class today, so I was able to ask him some questions about how being a risk-taker helped him get to Yale. Also, I was able to extend my video to 1 23 minutes. I feel like my video is finished because it already sends the message and is entertaining enough to command attention.

Picture!

Hey guys, if you want to use Gabriel's Picfure, here it is :)

Reflection 2/27/12

Today, I completed my plan stage! :) I put the Gantt chart on my google doc and wrote the paragraph evaluating my plan stage, which I think came out pretty well. All I have to do now is the create phase and the evaluation phase and I am finished with my project! YAY! It took me quite some time to finish everything, but I was able to thoroughly complete the stages. I will do a last-checkup on my google doc to make sure everything is in the best shape possible when I complete the create and evaluate stage.

Reflection :)

Today I finished the comparisons for the tools I was planning to use. After I tried both of the programs, Animoto and Vuvox, I scored both and Animoto came out with the highest score. Also, I created the survey that I will use to evaluate my product, this is the link my survey.

Investigation (2/3/12)

Today I started the rating of the two video tools on which I was deciding for my project. I think that with the table that Ms. Hinojosa created and I modified, I will successfully choose the tool that will make my project a success. I explained in detail how I can use them, and which are the pros and cons. By doing this, the video tool that I choose will be the right choice.

Investigate 2/1/12

Today, I tested both Animoto and Vuvox. After trying to make a simple video in both of them, I was able to evaluate how simple they were to use, which one had better options for the music and editing, and if I would be able to post it to my blog. Both are great video editing tools and each have great advantages, but after analyzing I believe I will use Animoto. I am still not 100% sure, but it ended up being not only the simplest but also the most effective.  I will continue to test both resources, just to make sure I made the right decision.

Reflection :)

Today I worked on the introduction of my journal. I explained what exactly it is that I'm doing to teach the IB learner profile to people that are unfamiliar with it. I hope that my project will impact the community in a bigger scale. I also wrote how I think me learning personally will impact other people, since by me learning it well will imapct how well they learn it. The fact that I will try to reach other people by video should imply that I want them to learn these qualities by vision and audio.

Investigation

Today I am going to research the tools I am going to use for my project. I will compare some of the video editing tools that Ms. Hinojosa gave us, Animoto and Vuvox. Both resources are very effective, it just comes down to which one I like better. After trying both of the websites, Vuvox is the one I think I am going to use, but I still need to research more. I will still try to use Animoto and see if it fits my ideas, I will do the same thing for Vuvox and see which one fits better.
