Video about how mobile technology can be used in class

This is my final product:

Monday March 8+Wednesday March 10+Thursday March 11

During this week i recorded up my script and then realized that my voice was too low and at times it was shaky. I shifted my whole plan and decided to write up everything i was going to say in slides and place them before the photos they belong to. To do that i had to adjust some of the sentences i was planning on saying. Because i had typed up my script it saved me a lot of time. All i had to do is copy paste and adjust what needed to be fixed. I managed to finish my product in time. All i need to do now is post the video on youtube and send the link to the teacher and im good to go. Overall i think i did a good job and the information in my product will be useful for others.

Moday March 1+Wednesday March 3+Thursday March 4

During this week i finished writing up the draft of my script. I forgot that i need to edit my script and so it wasn't in my time line. Since i was ahead of my time line, i used the extra time to edit my script. I figured that it was best for me to be the speaker of my video. Later on i started to organize my photos using Windows Movie Maker. I found out that i could have transitions which would make my movie more interesting. I had finished organizing my pictures and what is left is for me to record the script. I had organized the photos based on what i was going to say. Each photo had some kind of relationship with what i'm going to say.

Wednesday February 24+Thursday February 25

I came to class with my first step completed which was to research and gather up information. I worked on it at home because i cant afford to loose time. During the second lesson i had gathered up all of the possible photos i needed to use. It was quite a simple task because there are photos all over the internet. I managed to finish this step half way through the lesson so i was ahead of my timeline. I started to work on writing up my script. This wasn't as easy as collecting photos. I had to be detailed about the items im describing but i had to be precise to the point so that my movie isn't too long. By the end of the week i had written up 3/4 of my script but it was only a draft. I have a lot of mistakes and i need to figure out who i will be using in my video.

Monday february 22; Day 1

My plan for creating this projects is to first collect reearch and background inforation about different types of phones then to present this throughout a movie i will be making. For this movie i will be using windows movie maker to create it. I think that my process is very basic so it is easy to follow. Hopefully i will try my best to work hard at all times so i can meet my own deadlines. I was hoping that today i was going to start instead i got stuck writing this. My goal for next lesson is to come to class with step one done at home. I cant afford to waste any time or else my product wont be finished by the dead line. it is important to stick to the timeline i have created.

week 4

During this week we kept on working on finishing up the investigation. It was very hard to find educational gadgets. I visited many search engines and different websites until i finally got some. Everything else was fairly easy and very basic. I tried to be as detailed as i can in my investigation. I got to finish my investigation and hand in everything on time.

week 3

During this week we started to write up our investigation. On our investigation we have to introduce the problem and what product we're going to conduct that will solve it. We have to explain it fully in details and back up our information. We also have to select 5 gadgets.The deadline is next Thursday. So far im doing well in my investigation. I have written up the problem and started finding gadgets. I still need to write the solution. It's quite simple once you understand what the task is. I think that i'll be able to hand in the investigation on time.
