The task for this week was to get over the metaphorical hill of the absolute struggle that was last week. My knitting project this week did see some successes, however, looking at it currently, I would describe it as being mangled a bit by a raccoon. During the first week of my journey, I did state that I understood that 1. this was going to take time to master, 2. my knitting was not going to look pretty and perfect…

So this week I attempted to learn how to use Canva! Being BOTH technologically and artistically challenged, this was a beast to tackle for sure! Canva has such a massive amount of apps, tools, templates, literally anything, that it is very overwhelming to me. I decided after trying and failing at other methods, that an

For this week, I just wanted to rock it by playing chords so I stumbled on the YourGuitarSage video on YouTube and figured I could play the Happy Birthday Song using three major chords (G, D, and C) and I … Continue reading

This week, I had to try out a new tool to record my learning so I decided to try the Wevideo app. This is an online video editing solution that can be accessed from any device. This app is simply … Continue reading

This week I decided to try out smore to chronicle my learning project progress. I’m not very brave when it comes to technology or learning new apps or websites, but my school uses smore for our newsletter so I thought I’d give it a try. Honestly, I didn’t love this platform. There are lots of […]

This week I selected a tool I have never used before with is Canva. I used Canva to create a video about my learning project from this week. I know many people have used Canva and enjoy it, so that is why I wanted to try it out. When I began I needed to create…

For this week I decided to use Youtube as my tool to help me learn my first song. I had been practicing all week with a video posted by Ricky Somborn. I would take time to pause the video and play at my own pace. I’m still in the learning process, so I had to

This week I tried The Flip app formerly known as Flip Grid. It is a video recording, editing, and posting software. I probably did not use it to its full potential. I was trying to do that with my first … Continue reading

I tried the app Audacity for the first time this week. This is an awesome tool that allows you to make your sounds with different objects or sounds tools. I would compare it to moviemaker for music. It allows you to record a sound where you can split, cut, duplicate, and move around to make […]
Continue reading‘Directing’ the Classroom
This week for my learning project, I tried to document my progress using iMovie. iMovie is an app for creating trailers or videos and do some basic editing to them. The app has a lot more option on the MacBook version, but I used the iPhone version and found it moderately straight forward. I did not use a tutorial for this project as I found most things on my own. This app has many basic features like photos, videos, voice overs, music, and text. Although I felt like I could do everything […]
