assignment 11d-linked courses evaluation

Yes, these linked courses have been most beneficial. The growing trend is to link two separate areas of instruction to enhance and solidify student success. I plan to incorporate either Picasa or Photostory into my classroom instruction next semester. Since I do not consider myself a “tech” person, even I am impressed with the technology skills I developed while creating the digital photos/storytelling. The relationship between the digital course and children’s literature cultivated the connection between the two courses. I think about ways to apply the information learned from each other. The connection of technical skills to content area knowledge expects one to be meticulous; nothing can be an oversight in creating your story. This could be an example of constant reinforcement in the subject area. Yes, I would be interested in enrolling in another linked course and would highly recommend it to other students. Generally speaking, we were given great flexibility to develop and polish our story from the linked classes. Although I prefer one-to-one instruction, partially online instruction would be acceptable.

assignment 11c-create a CD/DVD-final project

As I mentioned earlier in the course blog, my project is not completed. The program used to create the CD is Roxio by Sonic Solutions on a Dell Latitude D820 laptop using Windows Media Video. After opening the software, select
1. Data
2. Data Disc
3. Add Data
4. The file photostory3final.oralstorytelling_1.wmv
5. Push the red button
6. After successful burning, the cd ejected by itself

Always, after closing the Roxio program, there is a message "Runtime error" "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library." However, it does not affect the CD so I assume it is a problem with the software itself. After loading the CD back into the player, the CD did not play immediately after selecting "what to open the program with." In order for the CD to play, I had to do it manually by selecting the CD in its drive from "My computer. " I was able to do it.
