Also, I forgot that I was going to blog each day - it definitely makes sense to have a calendar and check lists (which I've decided I need to do for my online students) to just keep track of what all needs to be done. It also makes sense to have everything housed together if at all possible, so that when I'm in the course I have visual cues - "oh yes, I need to blog" or "oh, don't forget about the discussion area" - you just don't have those strong visual cues when you are putting your blog in one place, tweeting, and discussion in two others.
Today was a bit better, although I really wish I had read ahead and noticed that I needed to create a video before I went to work. I could have taken my laptop to use for the video since my desktop doesn't have a camera or microphone - sigh. I wrote my scipt and then tried recording my video several different ways. The camera on my ipad isn't the best, and the light in my office sucks. Then I tried to use a computer in the mac lab, but it didn't have facetime and there were other people in there chatting etc. Then I tried to do a Voki - well they changed the program and you can only record for 60 seconds in the "free" area. My script was about two minutes - and I don't want a subscription since I don't know how often I will want to use that medium. So finally, I went ahead and wrote the script and after several takes -I did get it done, and posted - hmmm now I wonder if anyone will view it. Here's the link (although it's not as good a quality as I'd like - but when you have several hours to write, record and produce a video - what you see is what you get.
