Steps to Enter Teacher's Home Page
This video is intended for teachers whose school district has just purchased the Renaissance Place reading program. The purpose for this video is to show the teachers how to login to the teachers’ homepage where they will see many options to help monitor and support their students’ reading progress.
This process has been very tedious and long. First, the Windows Movie Maker would not work on my computer-the only program so far. I had the computer teacher and the IT man look at it several times to try to figure out what was wrong. I removed and reinstalled the program several times. Then the computer teacher told me that she teaches the students how to make videos in the computer lab. I move to the computer lab to work on the video but with this I had to save everything to my flash drive. I had to convert all of my pictures to JPEG because that was the only format that would work. I was finally able to put together the pictures and then the narration together. My flash drive then got misplaced and I had to start over again and save to another flash drive. I had to restart this video several times because of unforeseen activities like students coming into the lab and shutting everything down.
My video is not really how I wanted it to appear but I never could find out how to animate the walking man or anything else for that matter. Everyone kept saying just push the animate button but there was none so I gave up and converted the file to a .mp4 format which was an easy process and then uploaded the file to YouTube.
