Week 6
Today, we learned about how to create animated GIF.  GIFs images are limited to 256 colors, since GIFs are low in resolution they can be used to created short animated films.  Educators uses short animated GIF to reenforce simple concepts.  I think I can certainly use animated GIF in the classes that I am teaching now.  The good website that I can use to create animated GIF is Make A GIF .  It was quite easy to use and I was able to create one for writing a character.  I created the GIF by taking screenshot from Google Draw program.  I was able to show how to write the character one stroke at a time. I also found out I can embed the GIF to Moodle as well.
I learned there is a better tool to create education videos, the tool is called EDUCANNON.  I thought it was better than TED ED.

Week 5
This week the class met online due to crazy weather.  I think it is a good exercise to meet and use the webex to practice online. I still need to figure out the topic for my presentation.   I am not sure what I should do for my online class.  As Dr. Sponder suggested that I need to look up online teaching strategies.  I think if I get familiar with online teaching strategies I should feel more comfortable to teaching a online class.  As part of homework, we will be working on creating audios for promote our  own moodle sites.  I can't wait to create a podcast channel for my students.  Keep going, I feel like I am falling behind a little.  This 5 days break should help me catch up on things.

Week 4

This week, we met David Oyanadal, he is the supervisor of The CCSU Instructional Design and Technology Resource Center.  He talked shortly about his job and Quality Matters. He mention that what he learned at CCSU, at the educational technology program.  He said the program was useful and the book Making it Happen was useful.  

This week we have to make some audios for our noodle site.  
The Audio programs that I know of are
1.  Vocaroo
2. QuickTime player
3. audacity
4. podcast
I am very familiar with Vocaroo and QuickTime, I have used these two program for recording.  I think I want to try to use podcast to produce some audios for my Moodle Project.
