Week 5

End of week 5 and I have just started my Action Research project. One of my classes started and finished filming this week. We had MANY problems. First, the school computers were not letting any of the film clips load. Second, there were not enough computers that had editing on them (without school control lock things) to have each group edit. Two groups went home and edited their videos and they turned out AWESOME! Then I edited another groups to show a basic layout. Instead of editing the films we played with the program to better understand it as a group. Students blogged and the problems that were happening between group members faded after they finished the film :). Hopefully we can get this technological problem out of the way because we really need to get into the computer lab in the next two weeks to film again. *YIKES*

One thing that I am learning is that the school is a playground for germs and I have been sick more times than I have ever been within a week! AND I am loosing my voice because some students see me sick and then think they have control over class, not the case. It is frustrating though when some classes I have class management plans that work and the other classes don't seem to want to follow.
