Tech Thoughts By Jen » Blog Archive » A Long Time Ago……… - 0 views

  •  
    What I am going to share here will probably be the most personal thing I have ever shared on my blog. Only 3 other people know of this and some who are skeptics will dismiss me right away. But - I promise if you stick with me to the very end, it will make sense AND it will be woven into Tech. A long time ago, a pastor I trusted was into meditation and he was leading several people through them. Being the skeptic (yes, even though my faith is strong, I still have doubts at times) I decided to give it a try. What I am sharing next was what I saw. I was sitting on a fountain and there was a gentle man sitting next to me and we began to talk about what I was afraid of. He asked me if I was ready to conquer some of my fears and I said "Yes". He advised me to look up - and there floating above me were planks with words on them….words with the fears that I indeed was dealing with. And the closest one said "Dogs". I was able to easily reach up and grab it. As I gave the gentle man the plank, I said "But I am not really afraid of dogs" and his response was "sometimes you have to go for the easy before you can go for the hard." He then asked me if I wanted to fly and I said yes and suddenly we were flying through the sky…….yet, I continually looked toward the fountain, toward the ground, toward the certain. He finally asked if I wanted to return and we returned to the fountain. He laid his head in his hands and began to cry. When I asked him why, his response was "Jennifer, I want you to fly, yet you always wish to return to where it is safe." What I am sharing with you is true - and I still deal with my fears and my wanting to be safe - but today - I want to take those 2 stories and weave them, if I may, into what our teachers are dealing with in regards to being open to tech. In the last few weeks, I have had several conversations with tech coordinators, integratrators, evangelists, ambassadors - whatever you want to call

    Very interesting reading. I feel that many of you are with wings and flying high, even if sometimes we question things and just want to go back to the ground. This is totally natural, questioning, trying, feeling on the verge of giving up, giving another chance, trying a different approach...

Letting It Marinade - Tech Thoughts By Jen - 0 views

  • The new tools don’t always make sense right away and I tend to be a bit hesitant rather than “rah rah rah” check this out.   And if I don’t get it, I tend to put it on the back burner for a while and then come back later with a fresh viewpoint.  In fact, with delicious, one of my most popular tags is “comebacktolater” because I can see possible potential in the site but am not able to put my finger on just what that potential is. And it is important at times to marinade.  To take the time to figure it out and not put a stamp of approval on a tool that perhaps should not carry that stamp.  My teachers depend a lot on my help and trust that when I present to them, it is tried and true and not just a whim.  So, it it good sometimes, to not rush into the “newest and best” until I can say for sure that it is.

    Very wise advice. Sometimes we just need to let things "marinade".

    Chris Moisés suggested this link here. I'm part of the workshop Tony Karrer is talking about, but just as a lurker as I'm really focusing on our online session. However, the great thing of online sessions is that there are many open ones which let you access the resources whenever you want. Next week, they'll be talking about what? Social bookmarking! We're way ahead, huh???

Splicd lets you edit other people's YouTube videos | - 0 views

  • If there's one bothersome side effect of getting a long Web video sent to you, it's getting to the good parts. In some cases, the part your friend wanted you to see could be a few minutes in, and you might not have the time (or patience) to sit through the rest. A service called Splicd fixes this, by letting anyone drop in a YouTube video URL, then pick the start and end point. It's not a very pretty implementation, but it works. You've got to manually plug in the start and end times, which requires skipping around to the part you want in YouTube, then heading back to Splicd. Once it's worked it through, you get a permalinked page that you can share with friends. What's nice about this system is that it doesn't require extra time to re-encode the video; when you've put in those changes it's instantaneous. The downside to that is that the finished product cannot be shared outside of Splicd's site.

    Aha! Now you can get just parts of a YouTube video. Might be handy in the classroom. I need to test it!
