Week 7...

Week 7

     So as I have been working on my computer for the last 6 hours and my eyes are going buggy from staring at the computer screen, today’s blog will be short!

Hockey update

Last weekend’s hockey went like this…. Darren played Friday night but I missed it as I worked the meat draw at the Legion to  raise money for our 4H group… but they won! Saturday he played in Carberry for Game 2 of the playoffs… they lost and forced Game 3 on Sunday in Reston! Meanwhile on Sunday Trevor played in Brandon – and they lost – made Brandon very happy for their win, as they have been looking to beat us for awhile!  Then we were off to Reston for Darren’s Game 3… GREAT game!  And they won!  So now they take on Killarney in a best of 3 series… will see what happens there… that round starts tomorrow!  Darren’s AAA Steel practices have started now, so that will add a bit more to my crazy existence! Trevor is off in Swan River today (luckily they took a bus) and are currently tied at 3 after 2…. Darren is glued to his iPad whilst I work away at homework…the crunch is on!

Tech talk!

     So this week we broke into groups to make a movie!  Oh yay…. However… what a cool idea to do with middle years and senior years students!  Even though I get to star in this movie, the process has definitely been interesting and challenging!  We used my son’s iPad to video, I uploaded the videos to a google drive account so we can all access the videos (which didn’t work well when my wifi wouldn’t), then I used Green Screen by Do Ink to edit my video.  Thursday night I spent 2.5 hours editing and figuring out how to use it… I was fairly satisfied with my product, but wanted to add something else… whatever I clicked on next erased ALL of my hard work as I hadn’t saved it…. BAD move… however, Friday in 30 minutes, I was almost able to get it back to where I had it.  I wonder why I get frustrated with technology… hmmmm.  However, once I get some other homework caught up to where I am fairy happy with it and if I can manage to rip the iPad back out of my son’s hands, then I will see what else I can do with it.  I hope I can add some music? Make my cohort’s voices louder? Add something that seems to be missing… maybe a dancing robot… hmmmm will see….
