CCMS Week 3

This week with my service project I met up with my student again. When we got together, we looked at her video and uploaded it to Teacher Tube. Then we embedded it into our blogs. I think her video was really great. Her and her mother put it together and it ended up looking really gret. Rain was the one who ended up editing it and making all the changes to the video.

I then went home and made the VoiceThread.


This was our last week together and it was really great. It was a lot of fun teaching her and her mom how to use the programs we have been using. It was a bit difficult because I wasn't sure how to explain how to do everything, but everything worked out really well and I think this whole service project came out well.

CCMS Week 2

This week was really good because it was our first meeting and we were able to meet in person and understand each other's projects much better. When we met we talked about everything Rain knew about her project. We ended up making a KWL Chart. From then I understood what she knew and where we should break down her information for her project.

We discussed the different things that I needed to have done and her mother was willing to make the video. It was really great because it took a lot of stress off of me and I was able to focus on the VoiceThread. We then discussed about meeting up on ore time to further examine what we have done and to close the whole project.

Right now it seems that the service project will be really good and I'm excited to see how it turns out. =]

CCMS Week 1

This week I haven't really done much. I signed up for my student last week and this week got their email. I ended up emailing my student's mom and we have been talking back and forth about when we can meet up with the student and start discussing the project and things that need to get done. The mother is really great because she has really worked well with my schedule and I appreciate her enthusiasm.She has lifted my spirits and has made me feel really positive about this whole project.

In my most recent email I sent to my students parent, I attached a document with a few instructions for what the parent should know and what to student should try to get done before the first time we meet.

I'm really excited about this project and I think it will help me a lot with a expanding my knowledge about things. I think it will help me incorporate a lot of this stuff I have learned through this course into this project and hopefully better understand the tools.
