Could've done better if I had a few more lifetimes and no connections to humanity. The pictures had a tricky thing: you can't move their location to another file on your hardrive at all. The program gets indigestion and you can't get rid of the big red X frames til you replace the file to its original location with its original name.and then cut it out. That provided a sour point at the end. I fought with it and conquered. The uploading depends on you saving it to wmv file not a project file. ...

My computer hasn't got an imput for analog video or does it! I'm still working on that. I rememer the Dazzle but I am trying to see if my multimedia computer is going to cooperate with my theory of work-arounds. I now know that if you're not digital vid you're needing conversioin. With streaming media I cannot grab clips like the old days. Streaming media requires another software to grab. It's readily available for another fee. There are almost no clips to download of politically correct material. Warning! Don't search for "video clips" or you'll find much more than you...

Like most newbies I have wandered through lots of novel ideas and probably want to throw in the kitchen sink. From my composing I know that there is a real mistake to be made by using any novelty for novelty sake. It is the true sign of an amateur. I may not escape my inclinations but I will certainly try to play with fewer than I want to... http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/comments?id=14 http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/archive/13.html Sat, 03 Jul 2004 22:47:06 GMT Wonderfully insightful and revealing entries. From your assessment of your skills against those for 12th graders, to your "aha's" with Netscape, through Finale and midi, and your mastery of Paint. Your comments truly exemplify how principles of adult learning are integrated in this course. From the entries, it looks like you are experiencing high levels of success, though not without some hurdles to jump ... maybe a PE certificate is in order after the high jump! :) http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/comments?id=13 http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/archive/12.html Tue, 29 Jun 2004 03:29:50 GMT Some we solve and some we don't. After too-many-to-count tries, I succeeded in getting a page up with a photo background. The process is called layers and there was an html coding for it in Communicator 4.0 but it did not work for me in the Composer screen we use. Hmmmm - just realized I use 7.1 not Communicator... maybe. Another aha. Anyway, I finally tried several things and 2 worked. I put some text boxes in a photo background and saved it as a jpg. I also discovered that I had a program called Paint that worked even better because I could make my lettering transparent and then...

How can I get my webpage to use a jpg or gif as background and get the copy to transparently layer over in Netscape composer? I think I'm ready for Dreamweaver or something. Another job maybe.. it'll pay for some software. Finale saved me musically and now I need something for webpage design. http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/comments?id=11 http://hummingbird.blogdrive.com/archive/10.html Tue, 22 Jun 2004 07:23:11 GMT Okay, now that I fought with this webpage (and I have the cuts and sore right thumb to prove it!), I am going to take a few days off. If anyone points me to a computer I will urge them to leave the room. I am not tired. I am phenomenally zonked. My stubborness is useful. It will ___________ (fill in the blank). I don't want to think about it. We finally get out of school tomorrow. I am going to sleep for 3 days. If I snore in class wake me UP!!

ISTE Standards Set a National Agenda for Technology in Education In looking at the NET’s (National Educational Technology Standards) chart two things were apparent to me. The obviously stated fact of 49 out of 51 states adapting, adopting, aligning with or referencing these standards. Having said that, it is also clear that some states foster this with students, teachers and administrators (e.g. Alabama, Connecticut, Illinois; to name a few) while other states might focus on only students (e.g. Hawaii, Oklahoma, Utah are some). Some states focused only on administrators (e.g....

I wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke. Today at school I wanted to show it to the librarian at school and UGH! the pix wouldn't load. Here is the site. http://www.neiu.edu/~ljelimon I did another page through Comcast's (my ISP) menu system without the Netscape composer page. It was much easier and faster but did not allow me as many choices. This is an adjunctive page with the free Wi-Fi sites.
