Group Leadership Project - Final Part
What tool did your group use to deliver the PD tutorial? Why?
Our group used SlideRocket as our tool to present our Group Leadership Final Project. To develop our short video clips we used Jing. We used iWisoft Flash/SWF to convert the (.swf) files from Jing to (.avi) files in order to upload the files to non-flash videos. Some of the videos that are used in our presentation are linked from YouTube. There is also a real-time Twitter link that displays updates.
What did you learn during the development process of the final product? As a groupwe planned to use PowerDirector, a photo editing tool, to tie all the elements together. It was good for trimming the videos but we were not happy with the results. PowerDirector had limited features with less then perfect quality. Kit was familiar with SlideRocket, we decided to go with SlideRocket as our final presentation tool.
Kit and I had great communication during the entire project. We communicated through, email, post on discussion forums, web conferencing and cell phones. We never had a problem or miscommunication within our team. Kit and I discussed our group project and supported each other on other class assignments.
What would you do differently if you had to develop a similar product again?
Honestly, this was a great experience and there isn’t anything I would change. I am sure if there were more team members it would have been more difficult collaborating and dividing up the work. Since, there was only the two of us it was easy to communicate and complete the assignment.

Web Conferencing with Wiziq and Prezi
Online Experience

My goal for this project was to give my students an online experience instead of the traditional Computer programming class. The State of Michigan requires that all students have an online experience before graduation. This project targets the online requirement and reinforces the use of technologies in the classroom.
