Journal #2

         Thinking back, over the past few weeks, I am proud of the accomplishments I have made in my transition to become more technologically savvy.  I was a bit worried when I realized the Video Remix was due, and we had not discussed the process of finding videos and editing them in class.  A Video Remix seemed like a project only technology specialists would be able to do without assistance.  
I quickly remembered the “community questions” section of the course wiki in which I could connect to my classmates.  Sarah shared some useful information for a program to download and use to complete the Remix.  From there, I was able to use a basic search engine to leap over other small hurdles.  For instance, I had difficulty saving the videos I wanted to use in my Remix.  Through a basic search, I determined I needed to install an add-on.   
A teaching online support team, as I read about in the HETL resource, makes perfect sense when using technology.  It was nice to have some parts of a support team over the past few weeks. 
As I look to the future, I would like to develop a support team in my building.  Therefore, I am beginning to create a coaching session with teachers new to interactive white board technology.  This project will be for my first extra assignment.  I plan to continue to use the resources available to me in order to make a better support team for the staff in my building.
