<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong> Mon 5/23, Wed 5/25, Fri 5/27 were spent mostly shooting the final scenes for their video book presentation. It was nice to see the kids were ready to go from the start so time was not wasted. I wanted it done by Wed 6/01 for the Fiske Tech Expo. I took the videos home during the weekend and edited it with Adobe Premiere. The editing did not take as long as expected but the file sizes were pretty big. I put the files in the dropbox for Ms. Knox to have but I did it too late and she could not use it for the Tech Expo. It was also encoded in H.264 so windows media player could not play the video. The framerates were choppy when played on the VLC media player. I took it back home and reencoded it in MPEG2. Overall, the project was alright. The kids liked the final product I showed them and enjoyed their performances. I think I could have been better organized with time and had clearer instructions on what to do. It was a good break from fixing computers and printers and working with Antonio, Semaj, Jalen, and Jamari. The last day I spent showing the kids their work and installing ActivInspire programs onto laptops for the Promethean board. I ran into some problems when I could not log in with the accounts I registered because the website seemed to have server problems. After multiple attempts at logging in, it finally worked and the programs were downloaded onto the laptop. Overall, working at CUIP was a fun and educational experience. I learned too much about printers and their various problems and how to fix login/domain issues. It was nice to work with Mr. Miller, Ms. Knox, Sara, and Mitch and I hope to work with them again next year. Adios for 2011.
