Strengths Getting all the files to fit together (video/audio/images)(Kennedi) Interpreting the directions correctly (Jennifer)Time (Matt)Communicating constructive criticism (Christina) Confusion over due dates (Emily)

ChallengesWindows movie maker wasnt very compatible with many things so next time Ill search for other movie makers.The instructional activity was not hard to create, it just took lots of time like all instructional lessons do.Coordinating formats before beginning projectCommunicate a clear understanding of the standards before creating the assessment toolMaybe we should have a Wimba session next time to clear up the confusion
