Week 4
The first lesson plan complete with a screencast went a little differently than I expected. I forgot how frustrating technology can be when something is made for a mac, and then some for a PC, this driver isn't up to date, the wireless won't connect, that file format doesn't work, there aren't photo editing programs on these computers, etc. So, the first screencast creation was a bit shaky. I thought I would be clever and bring my own laptop and do everything on it for the screencast, that way when it came time to record Dona and I could easily go into the hall or somewhere quiet. But, that cleverness was quickly defeated by technological hick-ups. However the lesson plan seemed quite easy to write, it seems that I'm finely becoming more comfortable with those. It might take a while to become more comfortable with the technology needed for this class including figuring out how to get my mac to work with some of these obstacles.

The technology can be frustrating for many and even road blocks. It is good you overcame and understand how to be flexible, because no doubt will those types of things pop up in your classrooms. Java has been giving a lot of people headaches. Their last update wasn't great and so many tools that depend on it also have to update. If you do want to update your iOS software it is only $30 and you can use it on all the computers you own.
