Mrs. Hughes

If you scroll to the bottom, you will see a YouTube movie showing Mrs. Hughes, self professed "World's Funniest Grandma". Watch it--it has some very funny lines.

The Podquest

I think the webquest was a good assignment -- it was fun working together to create something
as a group and see it posted on the internet. We really didn't use the blog in the process of
our project. Were we suppose to use it --I guess I can post it on my blog.

I think our group process went well. We met once to put things together and then the second
time we practiced several times and then got a pretty good taping of the project.

I think it was good to bounce ideas between each other--each contributing and compromising
Ellen -- created our "little people" and helped scripted (providing the points or tips
as she sends these out to in coming freshman). Mary provided the background and some
good ideas on practicing and scripting. I helped with the scripting and did the taping.
I also put it together as I had the Mac with iMovie and probably the most background
in doing this process (I learn quite a bit doing it too).

All in all, I enjoyed doing this project. I just wish the taping had been clearer--inconsistant
lighting.
