First Day of Class

Our instructor, Tony Carosella, held our interest as he outlined the course, and showed us the links in Blackboard he created instead of having to buy a book. He showed slide shows and videos done in last semester's class. Nobody was surfing the internet or on Face Book. I've had classes where the instructor droned on, and over half the class was surfing.

Setting up this blog was part of our first assignment. It will be linked to the other class member's sites and our photo sharing sites. Looks like it will be much better than putting the work on the school server.

Looks like I won't be able to check out a GL2 video camcorder. Janet explained the politics. CVT purchased 6 and there is a total of 11. The Multimedia class in the Art Department and the Movie Making class in the Mass Communications Department want them. I'll keep using my point and shoot and using IMovie. There's plenty to learn in this class. Next semester I'll take the Multimedia class, and check out the Canon GL2.

I'll post the videos and you can be the judge if they are getting better.

Hope to post after Thursday's class,

Barry
