Making progress

We spent a crazy few days before Thanksgiving break creating poetry bags. In the weeks before that we spent much time exploring winter themes, literary devices and a few poetry formats. Some of the bags will be shared with senior citizens at a holiday concert; the rest will be sent in care packages to troops in Afghanistan. We plan to send a recording of the poems to the troops. We are now in the process of recording with Garage Band. We've had a bit of trouble saving the recordings. Students haven't been able to remember all the steps. I struggled with this a bit then it occurred to me I could try my hand at screencasting. I used the site Screencast-O-Matic that Bailey showed us. It was relatively easy to use, but I had a little trouble at first getting my desktop in perspective. I did a few takes. I'm not totally satisfied with the final result, but I think it will serve the purpose.

Much of my time Saturday will be spent mixing the recordings to create a burnable product.
