Week 2.1
2.1 Audacity I already have Audacity and LAME mp3 down loaded to my computer so I did not have to go through those steps. I have used Audacity in the past and I have even taken a profession development class on how to use Audacity, however it has been a while and anything you don’t use you lose. I found many YouTube tutorials but many of them were putting me to sleep. I did finally find one that seemed to be pretty professional and maybe even a little too advanced towards the end but I bookmarked his tutorial so that I can practice while I listen next time. 2.1 Creative Commons I have never considered protecting my work before, I guess I didn’t think it needed it but as a teacher I know we do a lot of sharing of material and “borrowing” from others. Now that I understand a little better about how I can legally use other people’s work, it will take a lot of pressure off me to always come up with my own lessons and will allow me to share with others with confidence.

Web Conference Reflections
I attended a web conference on June 17, 2012. Dr. Abernathy was explaining what should be turned in for our Week 4 assignments. Many students were confused about how to go about turning in the assignments and showing how editing was being done from the prior week’s assignments. There were many questions and Dr. Abernathy did her best to clear up the confusion however I think the confusion was with the layout of the assignment and not of the assignment itself.

I attended a web conference on July 2, 2012. The purpose of this web conference was to clarify any issues and support our needs in doing the assignments for the last week of this course. Again there seemed to be a lot of confusion about the assignments and what was to be turned in for each section of week 5. A main concern about week 5 was the number of reflections that were suppose to be done and how to write those reflections. Dr. Abernathy assured us that the description was in the rubric. Another concern was over week 5.9. The rubric said to write a reflection about the course and how video could be used but Dr. Abernathy said that it was not supposed to be a reflection of the course embedded activity but rather reflections on our action research and our internship.
