While in groups, we discussed where we were in our projects and where each student of the group felt they were in their project. Each of us agreed that our projects are in its beginning stages, but we found that our ideas are culminating into great prospective projects to share with our peers. For example, one student in my group shared his idea of a scrabble board video with a twist. Not to share too many details about his project, but we were definitely excited to see his plans unfold in this project.
I shared the idea that I had for my project with my peers. Then, I shared the videos that I currently have and the format that I plan to create for this project. My peers seem excited about my project and found that the only issue that I may have is making sure that I can keep my projects authenticity.
In other words, I need to make certain that I don't copy too much from where the idea originated. I should make the project my own, maybe having a twist somewhere in the video.
I see their point clearly from my discussion with them.
Anytime you create a video, its important that the project that one creates has its own appeal. Otherwise, I may find others comparing my project to another that may have been better than my project.
I plan to make changes so that I run into that problem. I have a great musical theme and I believe that my project is different and exciting.
The feedback from my peers was extremely encouraging and helpful. I'm taking their advice so that I can create a better product for this upcoming assignment.

B10 Map Pt2
After many hours of thought and careful consideration towards this project I finally chose how I want to create my project.
I chose to create a workout video.. At the same time I want to create an element of humor in the video. The theme of project 2 is a motivational workout commercial. I have a software called movie maker and I plan to upload it as a youtube video.
I have portions of different workout that I have done over the last few years to use for this project. Those videos in combination with the theme music from rocky should make for a great commercial for having a better performing body.
But then again, Im considering creating this project as a commercial for future bouts that I may have in the sport of mma.
My personal trainer created a video using a compilation of training videos and recreational videos that were pieced together to create one video that spoke about a title fight that I was scheduled to have in 2011.
I have the music. Either the Rocky theme and or maybe some clips from some of the rocky movies. But, i have to see if there are copyright issues with using clips from a big screen movie.
Altogether, my video will illustrate the passion that I have for working out and the sport that is close to my heart. I hope to display that passion in this second project.

B9 Brain storning Map
The project that I have in mind for my 2nd project hasn't quite crystallized just yet but, at the same time, I have an idea of the focus of this project. Initially, my intentions were to create a project that is just informative on health. My focus for this project is to share my passions about health to those who happen to experience my project. At the same time,I want my project to have an element of humor.
So, I have surmised an idea that incorporates 2 of my top 3 life passions while expressing my creative humor. My life passions are health, and education and evangelism. Well, evangelism isn't needed in this project, but I plan to incorporate health and education throughout this project.
The map of this project will include video interview of children, who are in my family. I plan to ask them questions about dental health. I expect that they will answer in the most honest manner that they know. I will then ask them about certain teachings of how to keep their teeth healthy. I expect that this video will have a creative spin on dental health from the lens of the child. Some of which have no teeth.
The music that I plan to use for this project will be used as an element of entertainment that adds to the project but doesn't overwhelm or confuse the audience.

B8 Thinking about Structures
Thus far we have began to learn how to embed a video code into a site. This sets the foundation for creating a thumbnail story for our next project is one that we intend to create a project that has video as its main element.
This will be different from our last project in many ways. Not only must video be implemented but music as well. And furthermore, there must be a navigation tool for this project as well. As i consider this project, I see that the challenge lies in connecting the visual elements with the musical aspect of the thumbnail.
I haven't quite pinned down the idea that I have for this project , but I am thinking of a variety of possibilities that can make this project stand out.

B7 My Project
I must say that creating my project was an exceptional experience. The inspiration of my project is that I wanted to create a hyperlink project that was easy to navigate on screen as well as ensure that the site was student friendly. I am a teacher by trade so my inital thoughts were to create something student friendly that will attract student intrest. I truly believe projects similar to what we have created, will laspse the convention methods of today. Students today are very familiar with computers and they need stimulation as they desire to learn.
Hypertext and hyperlinks give students an opportunity to navigate and explore their work. The usage of hyper link and hypertext allows students to interact and feel as if they own their work. Not to mention, students will feel that learning is an experience and not just a chore to pass their time.
My project doesnt require many instructions. My project is for those who are novice with hypertext and hyperlinks. When engaging with my project , one will notice that it very linear and clear. That is how I can ensure my student wont get lost or misunderstand the text or instructions.
I do hope those that come to my students web page enjoy the experience. Its filled with links to great images of students who have hand drawn their ideas of an idiom of their choice.
Enjoy the experience in my project.
