Successful World Cup?

It was a good run for the US soccer team I feel like they met expectations yet did not exceed them. For the casual soccer fan the world cup may be over but I am typing this while watching a GREAT game between Germany and England. This only happens once every four years so enjoy it. I came across this great U-Tube video and I think it may answer one of the questions I posed in my history of soccer in the US digital story. Enjoy....

iMovie and Soccer


Yeah that sums up the last 3-4 days, if I was not watching a soccer game / highlight I was working with imovie for our digital story project. Lets start with soccer.... Happy with the USA performance on Sat. to tie England (even on a lucky goal) is a big accomplishment for the team and the rest of the games should be easier. As for my Australian side....not so good, they were embarrassed on Sunday by Germany and their chances look a lot slimmer
That leaves imovie, at first I was very frustrated and felt like a 5 minute project was going to take hours of work (and it did) however the next time I use it things will be much smoother. Imovie has so many cool features and it is very easy to use, I am looking forward to making some home movies of the family. Not really sure what is going on for class (as usual) do we have one last class? is it Thursday? Wednesday? Siberia? Regardless, school is almost over and the summer is here. Life is good.

Technological Inclusion


Well I feel like I have had a bit of writers block lately... Not quite sure what to post, don't want to just write stuff to writer stuff (Teri). But as we are coming up to the end of this class I was thinking about all of the technology that I /we are putting into place for next year that we learned from our first two MAIT classes. I am very excited to use my class website next year and have a class blog that the students will effectively run themselves. It is pretty exciting that we have so many more classes and so much more to learn! In case you are counting only 3 days 7 hours and 13 minutes left until the World Cup!
