THIS IS FUN!!

Finally, my internship is FUN!! I have done a LOT of work since I last posted (which adds up to a lot of hours, but since they are fun, they have flown by!!). Since my last post, I have sent home permission slips to video tape (and got all but one back), got the video camera, bought the wrong size tapes, exchanged the wrong tapes for the correct ones and started taping. I realized that my friend who owns the camera never got the cord that allows it to upload to the computer, so I went and bought one (yea, it was like $30 but I told my friend that it was my "rental fee.") I finally uploaded all the videos I had taken so far and realized that b/c I kept looking at what I had taped, I had of course taped over other stuff I needed. So I taped and re-taped and taped some more. It took me about a week to get everything I needed of the students (including trips to other schools). I didn't have time at school to tape myself programming the devices so I took three students devices home with me for the weekend. I have spent yesterday and today (Sat. and Sun.) taping some more, uploading more, realizing that I had been uploading the long way and that everything I was doing, the computer would do for me, and taping some more. It is 5:30 on Sunday and I have just finished taping everything I need (I hope). I did take off a few hours yesterday to see Twilight with Stacy (LOVED IT) and work on our group project for the other class, but I'm done. I also spent more time working on the actual website. I tried to upload my uploaded videos, but it was taking forever, so I decided that I will upload them to Teachertube (school version of YouTube that isn't blocked in my district) and post a link to them instead of putting them directly on pbwiki. This coming week, I will be finishing my bibliography and my website and making sure all the loose ends are tied up. I'm almost done!!! WOOHOO!!
