This Saturday we finished shooting the video. Like last week we started at 8:30 AM and finished shortly after 9:30 AM. I wrote a thank you notice to parents for brining their children (who participated in the video shooting) that early to the school. I also brought 2 laptops to the class. Together with the teacher’s laptop we let students explore WMM. I put some pictures and music on each laptop and let students play with Automovie. It took about 15 minutes for all students to have a hands-on experience.
I discussed with the teacher about the possibility for each student to present Chinese tones. She think this is a great idea and made the announcement that each student will do a presentation on December 1. They will explain how Chinese tones work by pretending that everyone in the classroom doesn’t know anything about Chinese language.
During the week I will import the video clips we took into WMM and burn the project file onto CD. Next Saturday I will give the CD to students. They should try to edit the movie at home and bring it to the class on December 1 for sharing. For the next week I will use about 30 minutes of the class time to show the students how to do some editing in WMM. Hopefully everything will work out just fine.
