Sara, sometimes I think I am bugging you when I gchat with you... Susan: I guess Lupe did say she wash going to join us was 3:57 PM me: Miguel? sbaragona: no I love it! I have really missed it these past few weeks. Susan: Haven't heard, he did not reply to the email me: awww... I've been sick this week... you had sick children last week, huh Sara? sbaragona: yep me: @Susan... oh... 3:58 PM Susan, do you have Linda Marschall or Creighton Gann? sbaragona: Susan, did you get the video file? Susan: Linda me: oh! I have Creighton Susan: I don't think so I can check again. I got the sound files sbaragona: I emailed the video file last night (close to 10) me: the one I have that says video is audio.. I think sbaragona: I saved it as an AVI file. 4:00 PM sbaragona: I dunno. Susan: Oh I see it. Let me look at it hang on It says avi... but I only hear kids talking sbaragona: I know some of the shots are bad. I just sent everything i did. man! Would it work better if I posted it on Youtube and you could download it from there? 4:01 PM me: I wonder if its the player... sbaragona: or tried ot convert it to mpeg? Susan: I had linda earlier but now I am back with her - she is not very timely me: yeah... what was the video? NO!!! 4:02 PM sbaragona: the video I did was of students texting with a couple of close up shots of the texts Susan: My MAC is trying to load it let me try something else. me: btw.... do I need parent permission for my students to participate? I forgot to check on that.. and I am leary of them getting on video - if parents freak out oh! so that is what they were talking about .... so... our "web ready format" ... what is that? 4:03 PM sbaragona: my school said that our normal media release form would cover it, but i did write separate permission for this. me: can we post on TeacherTube for "web ready" sbaragona: i think web ready is posting on teachertube or youtube. me: oh no... Sara... I didn't do that... I guess I should check into that Susan: no go on the movie I can't load it =( 4:04 PM me: me either... just adio audio Susan: I guess You tube or teacher tube sbaragona: ok. i'll do that now. Susan: Or maybe even your wiki me: so.... Sara, you mentioned from the email that we need to send links to our IA for this assigment... since we have so many docs, should we be creating a GoogleSite or something and store things on pages? Susan: Dr A was kind of saying we could post our work where ever 4:05 PM Yes, a google site is a good idea me: oh... Susan... sorry.. you sent that email... sorry... THANKS! 4:06 PM Susan: what is that exactly? sbaragona: i like the google site idea 4:07 PM basically a webpage through google that we can add stuff to Susan: oh ok sbaragona: youtube is uploading my video now me: we would just post files ... to teachertube? or to google? 4:08 PM sbaragona: i like posting directly to a google site. we did google sites during our teaching with technology class. it seemed fairly easy me: ok... Google doesn't allow uploading video anymore, though.. right? sbaragona: i dunno. 4:09 PM Susan: I guess we could create a wiki in wiki spaces. we can upload video there right? me: yes... "we are no longer allowing uploading video" []= index yeah... I guess that would work? 4:10 PM do we still have file format issues? I gotta see what my job is!!! Susan: I can work on the wikisite and transferring the things we have in google docs to the site sbaragona: that would be great. 4:11 PM me: page of auio, page of video, page of documents...?? sbaragona: Whoever is editing my video - one of the students actually did the shooting so a lot of it might be usable. me: oh that s great! stilll uploading?' sbaragona: [] 4:12 PM Susan: I know they want to see our collaboration and I want it to be easy for us to be commenting and collaborting 4:13 PM I guess we can just open threads up on the discussion areas of those pages right? me: can we post these emails? sbaragona: definitely. another group I was in, used the different colors of type to show collaboration and we dated our comments to show the course of collaboration 4:14 PM we could copy and paste them Susan: I think dating them is a good idea me: yeah, too bad we didnt' do that when we started... although email has dates sbaragona: maybe one page for email communication, another for the project document, another for files we are sharing. one last page for the final product 4:15 PM Susan: I guess we can just start dating them now and things without a date are week 3 sbaragona: i can add the emails once we have the page created. Susan: ok that sounds good we have done a lot of collaborating in teh emails - ) me: communication page sounds great right! Susan: I can't get the video to play says private me: I still can't play the video.. ddid you susan 4:16 PM what was our final decision about final format? MovieMaker? even though it isn't standard? sbaragona: try again. I changed the setting to unlisted so that those with teh link can view me: or does that matter once we post to TEacherTube? 4:17 PM sbaragona: it shouldn't matter. I dont' have a teachertube account. i use youtube me: that's ok too... I just meant so the web ready version is posted I;m an editor?? aaaahhhh... 4:18 PM I guess I should talk with Miguel sbaragona: one person needs to do the actual editing so that final product is put together me: but we have editing for the rap and Megan Pledge... but I do agree... 4:19 PM Susan: I am watching your video it is good lots of good possibilities sbaragona: thanks me: will you send the link again? sbaragona: i really think that one person needs all the files to put the final product together so that it is seamless. sure me: never m ind... found it sbaragona: k Susan: WOW your kiddos did a great job!! sbaragona: they really got into it 4:21 PM we also had an internet awareness assembly the same day. it was great to see the connections being made Susan: I too think that in the end one person is going to need all the files Oh that is a great connections - how timely sbaragona: will someone be able to dowbload from youtube and then edit the video. i've never tried that 4:22 PM me: I don't know either... I know how to download, so I was assuming it could be imported into the video editor.... Susan: I think my son has I can ask him how he does it? 4:23 PM sbaragona: sounds good to me me: is the the video that is BEFORE the rap? like leading it to it? or part of the rap? 4:24 PM * is this the video* sorry for the typo Susan: Were you thinking to seperate the audio out and just have the rap and the spoken files and the pledge in the background? sbaragona: definitely take out the audio in my video me: hahahahaah "is this thing on?" hahahahah sbaragona: i was thinking the rap and/or pledge in the background 4:25 PM i forgot to tell them not to talk me: ok... I thought the pledge could be at hte end... after the rap Susan: my thought was to start with Juan then go to the rap(s) with the video in the background sbaragona: sounds good to me me: but before conclusion Susan: oh ok that sounds good sbaragona: what is the conclusion? me: Juan? 4:26 PM "take a stand be the man... " whatever that was... hahahaah Susan: Sorry other group it is miguel!! ha ha sbaragona: gotcha! Susan: Dr. A said even 30 seconds was long enough me: did he post a SHORTER intro thing? 4:27 PM wooohoooo.... so we could JUST do the rap???? Susan: yes me: like an MTV video? sbaragona: my school wants to post this to our version of youtube within the district. would that be okay with yall? Susan: yes sbaragona: cool! I really like the rap and pledge me: sounds great with me.. but I REALLY have to get parent permission if my kids are used Susan: fine with me me: the pledge is long to read... 4:28 PM sbaragona: ok. i'll check with teh others too. me: but I like the idea of showing kids saying it...and cut away to it... sbaragona: we could use part of the pledge at the end. Susan: I have not had time to play with blending the audio I am going to do that today I might be able to have it behind the rap me: we could post it... a pdf of the plege pledge Susan: yes I think it is longer than the rap sbaragona: yeah it is me: Susan.. I have some files to send... with rap stuff the rap is about 31seconds of the music 4:29 PM Susan: ok I will play with them me: but I have some "other"... like Sara did... Susan: You can just pu tthem in teh google docs me: other things students created Susan: or the wiki if I get it up me: oh!! yes... sbaragona: susan, i think i trust you to make executive decision when it comes to the final audio 4:30 PM me: so... if you are gonna do that part, Susan - the audio editing... how about I do the wiki??? I haven't done much yet sbaragona: just do whatever you think sounds best Susan: lol ok me: so then... this is my next question... if you are working on audio..... we then need to work on the video part for that audion, right? sbaragona: right. 4:31 PM Susan: I will use as much as I can I do like the ones the kids did and I will start out with Miguel the computer talking = ) yes I know it is hard without the audio me: speaking of the computer talking.... Susan: so I will try and get that done today but me: should we really do that? like use blabberize or voki? Susan: I do not have Miguels final cut 4:32 PM Oh that is a good idea sbaragona: i have no idea what those are me: ok.. so for this weeks submission, I need to get a wiki done and give everyone the link - that is what we "turn it" Sara... your kids are little huh? sbaragona: yeah my personal kids Susan: You could record a jing of the voki speaking it 4:33 PM me: Blabberize lets you "cut" out a mouth in your pictures... Susan: Oh I think we just need one wiki - are you creating it and i can work on teh audio then? me: on one school's site the Kindergarten posted pcitures they drew of the ocean life.. then they "cut" the mouth and it speaks "I am whale.
