New Ideas

So technology and I have never really gotten along. It seems when I go to use it it always breaks down on me. Or at least thats the case with BYU's Blackboard. In my technology class I have seen all the ways technology can be useful. It is exciting!

I now am looking on embarking to learning a new technology and finding out different ways it could be useful to me. I would really like to explore Viddler.

I can already imagine ways fo using it to help me in teaching. One way I could use it is when I do videos. I record my students and give them comments. Sometimes I can't talk fast enough and it would be good to go back and add more comments in later, which viddler allows.

As I was pondering a way my students could use viddler, I want to explore the possibility of them doing critiques on classmates videos. Also, I could have them turn in what they have so far and then I could leave commments on where they could improve more.

I forsee many possibilities and am excited to learn more.
