All For Team!!

This week is about collaboration and teamwork as we strive to craft movies around issues of social justice!! It is definitely my favorite assignment of the semester and one that I hope stays with you all after the course has ended. Everyone should come to class Tues/Wed with tape in hand, ready to edit your masterpieces. The majority of your time this week will be devoted to editing our films. However, there are still many assignment/collaborative projects that are in the works.
Current Assignments: Social Justice Film, iMovie Proficiency (short films with CSUSM footage), Software Review, Journals 6 - 10, EdTechProfile, and last, but certainly not least, TPE Collaborations.
The TPE collaborative assignment seems to be a difficult for everyone to complete. I know that you have a ton of work to do, but this assignment will allow you to demonstrate your amazing new technical acumen to your prospective employers!! The collaborative process should also help those who find writing about technical proficiency difficult. Help each other out and it should make the process easier, not harder.
The iMovie proficiency assignment is completed when you show me in person that you can do everything on the checklist. You sign, I sign, and you turn the paper in. Some of you have been submitting your movies, which is fine, but the most important aspect of the assignment is that you show ME that you are proficient in the program.
