Week 8 Blog Entry

This week has been very full on.  I have not been retaining a lot of information due to the information overload I have been experiencing from all of my subjects.  I have found that I have read through my assignments three or four times and still do not fully know if what I am saying is what I want to convey.  I have been editing the video for the group and finding that the fine tuning on the video was more work than I had originally thought it would be.
The professional development video has been a very interesting thing to work on because it has provided me with a new way to look at teaching through ICT to enhance a lesson and that using ICT within the classroom is not just useable through the research phase or through ICT based subjects. 
I did have problems with the video unfortunately.  Uploading it to TeacherTube was impossible because the video file was too large.  I was able to load the video to Youtube but there were also issues around file size and taking over 3 hours to load.  When the upload failed I decided that I would lower the quality of the video and then post it online.  There was no point in waiting over 3 hours again.  I was very happy with how our video came out in the end though.
