EDLD 5363 Web Conference Week 5

This week web conference gave me some important pointers to remind me how complex is the process to create a movie.

Collaboration is not always easy even when the team members are together, imagine now the same project but having everyone on remote locations.  That was one of our challenges this week. As a team, working and coordinating our skills and schedules to complete our PSA. Another situation faced was the exchange of files that normally isn't a problem but since our project require audio and video the size of them were significant. Our team use several methods. We tried Google Docs, Drop Box and finally the traditional method, email. I would say that this week goal was achieved. It is true we have several obstacles but at the end we were successful.

As Dr. Abernathy mentioned, part of our learning was the use of the web 2.o tools to collaborate, the selection of different software platforms to share and create a projects but the most important of them was the embedded one, the process.  We learned the process, the steps, actions to take with the idea of sharing that knowledge with our students while they develop their own products. At the same time we used several web 2.0 tools that for one reason or other made our work simpler, at that is one of our objectives too. Keep ourselves looking for new innovative ideas to implement in the classroom as facilitators for our students to learn.

I need to improve my knowledge on the adequate use of copyright material and how to reference the appropriate sources from the used content.
