Today I took the next big step in digital media exploration. I created a vlog. This experience for me became a family affair because, to be fair to my children, I can't do much of anything without them being far from my mind... or in this case, the screen. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to meet me and the real stars of my Vlog.
And, while we're in the mood of sharing videos, here's a video that I think better captures my roller coaster of a life. Though I didn't "make" the video myself, I was, I guess, the star. This video says what I couldn't in my 3-4 minute vlog.
Lisa, I really got to know so much more about you and your incredible story. The fact that you didn't really "see" the people in your lives until you were in your 20s in simply amazing. You must really value that--something that is often just taken for granted.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed your three kids--they are really cute and have a lot of stage presence. It's also amazing that you can balance being a mother, commuter, teacher, and graduate student at the same time--that's certainly a challenge.
I'm hoping that you can learn some technology skills related to your work, for example, the use of video for supervision/classroom analysis. When we talk about VideoAnt--that's something you could use for feedback to students' videos of their teaching. And, rethinking traditional notions of literacy in terms of digital literacies.
