February 15, 2010: Please find my final ppt presentation:

Hi all, welcome to Jadasi's Wiki site!! As I gain more experience using this site, I'll begin to add pictures, files for your review and comments. March 21, 2009 - Just purchased Timeline Maker so my timeline now does not have a watermark (using trial version) on it. If you are not able to access the timeline I will figure a method of viewing that allows you to view it.

Duane,

 I wasn't sure where to respond to your storyboard for Moodle and Health Opt classes, so I placed it here. I like the way you used a real world problem, and you did a great job supporting the need for the innovation. I am not an experienced Moodler, so I do not know much about the environment. It does sound like a way to integrate technology into the curriculum as well as meet the needs of the students. If I am remembering correctly, you said that Moodle lacks IT support, so how will you meet the needs of your inexperienced teachers? Krista

Duane,

(Update post.) Hey there, I think I am confused. I completed a page on the diffusion of my project as it has been in society thus far. However, you completed the assignment by showing when your project would be in the research and development stage as it applies to your school system. I guess the assignment can be viewed both ways. Your idea is more practical for your application. I do plan to try to re-adopt digital storytelling in my classroom one day, but with the lack of technological support (in my school system), it's kind of difficult. You may want to provide your co-teachers with the research that you collect about instructing courses online. This information would help with their background knowledge of how teachers should facilitate knowledge in online classes.

Hi Krista, I posted comments under the "Discussion" icon on your home page. Very impressive!! I've downloaded a MS Word compatibility software to open your documents and love the idea of Digital Storytelling to enhance student engagement. As I reviewed your story book I'm going to re-look at the rubric to make sure I'm following the same process. As my project is very work related I need to make sure I'm not only completing a real world project but also complete the class assignment while still meeting the requirements as a student in this class.

Jan. 15, 2010 Duane,

It looks like we are the only ones who are apart of this group. I posted my S-Curve assignment last night. I cannot wait to see the changes that you have made. I felt like the S-Curve assignment overlapped the previous assignment because of my dates. Digital Storytelling is not comprised of just one type of innovation, so I had to do the diffusion of digital storytelling as an entire concept. What do you think?

Hi Krista, I think you're right about you and I being part of this group. I do like the way you set up your S-Curve and how your Digital Storytelling is coming along. I am late on my S-Curve assignment as I've been trying to figure out how to take what I've video'ed (sp?), upload to my computer, edit, and then upload to my wiki site. I just posted a very brief "draft" with my daughter (she's much prettier than me :) ) to see if I did everything correctly. It's taken me two days just to figure that portion out. I will now begin to put together a video, with me narrating etc. and begin to upload that for your observation and critique. Hope things are settling down a bit for you and your family.

Hey Duane,

I watched your video the other night, but there was no sound on my end. I tried changing all of my volume settings, but to no avail. It looked great from what I can tell. You are right about your daughter. My little girl, (she's 8) wanted to know who that pretty girl was on the video. Keep up the great work.

Hi Krista, this same daughter :) showed me how to edit, told me my format was all wrong and showed me how to reformat. There is only sound at the beginning where my daughter is talking and I will do the audio this week for the rest of the video. I'm changing everything, including the storyboard to fit what I have now. She will show me how to paste the audio onto the scenes I want. If you have specific questions regarding your project I'm sure between her (mostly her :) ) and I we can help.

By the way, I have Jessi, 22 (in the video), David 24, Jack 10, (stepson), Ben, 14, (stepson), Makena, 2 and Kaimana, 8 mos. Very busy household.

Take care

Hi Duane,

Great update. You have really come along way with your project. I agree that your approach is centralized and decentralized. Your group of teachers and you will make a strong team of change agents especially since they are respected participants.

Hi Krista and Lori, I've been modifying my ppt presentation and began testing out how to add audio. Disregard the "sound bites" in the first couple of slides. After the first two slides I deleted the automatic transition from slide to slide so you'll need to click through the slide show in order to finish the presentation. The last slide is a video clip of Moodle that I was able to add in. Take care, Duane
