Power Point
Oh My Gosh!!! I am so frustrated with this assignment. I have been working on it a little over the past week and a half but I knew that I would get the most of my assignment done over the weekend. This is sad and I am not exaderating but I got onto my power point at 10:00 this morning and about 20 minutes ago I decided to stop until tomorrow. It is 6:15 !!!! I did have to stop to get the kids lunch and stuff like that but I really can't believe it. About 65% of my time was trying to figure out how to get my you tube video on there......still don't have it. I followed the step by step instructions. I really don't know much about computers. I'm thinking maybe I do not have an updated version of Adobe? I really don't know. I am excited to know how to do this for my class in the future but if it takes this long honestly I won't be doing it. I work at an elementary school with about 60 teachers and there might be 5 who actually know how to do this type of stuff and most don't even use it. I am not saying that it shouldn't be used because it is a great tool. Well now that I think about it, until about a week ago our county blocked a lot of things so integrating you tube was not an option until recently. I will try to get it tommorow but I have other things, like other assignments that I have to complete, laundry, house cleaning....ect. Life.....

Carrie you seemed as frustrated as I did. I love reading your blogs because you are and actual person and it doesn't feel like I'm just talking to a computer. LOL. But I know what you mean about being frustrated. I haven't even started my lessons part of the unit and I know I have way too much on my plate right now. I'm the type that I work on one thing until its completely done then go to the next assignment. But lately that hasn't been working out so great because all these (4 classes) seem to have some type of project or paper needing to be types up with works cited. I'm OVERWHELMED and we are so close to finishing. I am determined to get everything done. Hang in there hun, we all got that craziness going on!
ReplyDeleteTechnology can be a help and an obstacle. Sometimes we need to reach out and ask for help--or try Google. I'm not sure which version of PowerPoint you have, but I found out when Dana was having trouble with her YouTube that PowerPoint 2010 doesn't like to embed Youtube videos and then move the file to another computer. It loses the embedded video. So, it may be Microsoft's problem and not yours.
