Garage Band

Today we made our podcast using Garage Band. I am really impressed with parts of the program. However, I was upset with how different imovie 08 and Garage Band are. You are dealing with editing video and audio yet the two programs are drastically different. I became familiar with imovie 08 for my multimedia presentation and I figured that Garage Band would be similar only audio.....well it isn't! No skills from either program transfer over. You have to start fresh with learning a new program.

Thanks for the two video/audio assignments....without them I would still have two programs on my computer that I have never used. The assignments got me playing around and I feel pretty confident in both programs now.

I also enjoyed the cheap version of a smart board today. I had heard of the idea but I never really understood how it worked. I also really liked google docs and the idea of polling my class and parents. Too bad our filter blocks it due to the fact that it is a personal storage network. Not sure why that is bad......... All in all it was a good day of class. I'm excited to see the multimedia projects tomorrow.
