Finally able to post again!

Wow, after all these finally signing in worked!! So much that hasn't been posted here.
I really wanted to post a blog about the podcasting. At first, I hated the project because I got stuck with a group of guys who really didn't have any interest in doing the project OR interest in picking a topic. I had many suggestions but felt pretty outcast. Was it because I am a chick or because I am not a hot chick? However, once a topic was picked, working on our "Schmitter" podcast was great fun. See? I'm not that bad...
Admittedly, I did a lot of the fine tuning where/when my fellow team members overlooked weak areas and I can't help but be proud that it was my last minute adjustments that made the podcast go so well and with such a clean appearance. If I had a MAC I would make podcasts of my own every week.
The web 2.0 project I am much less enthusiastic about. Most of the programs that were still available were very wonky and seemed homemade to me. I ended up making my presentation about "Flash Paint" and well.... there just isn't much to say about it. I have run two pages short on my power point which I will be presenting tomorrow in class and simply have no idea what to do. There aren't many ways to use this program, you go in and you draw and save your work.
The week before last I had to miss my first evening class to go to the Dr. and we talked about scavenger hunts. As a future art-teacher I know these can be a very good way to keep students engaged as well as interested. I was sent on many a hunt as a student and we never knew why we were outside searching for whatever it was we were supposed to be gathering until we came back into the room and the lesson was started.
