Don't worry too much about th...Fantastic post. <br />Don't worry too much about the course theme either. MattSchuetze is dead on, your ability to write will be the most valuable tool this semester! <br />If you are familiar with (dare I say, intrigued by?) Aristotle/Greek notions of rhetoric, then you may find some of our discussions on how "techne" and "logos" are related. Remember, the goal of the course is to figure out how "writing" is influenced by technology (and vice-versa). Plus, your fears with Xtranormal should be allayed as soon as you start working with the platform - it's quite simple! Maybe you and your kids can work on a video together at some point too :)JoJoPoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430454726991927674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225491533078345582.post-9615688382073633082011-05-17T23:01:01.748-04:002011-05-17T23:01:01.748-04:00And by the time you graduate all those things will...And by the time you graduate all those things will be past, and something new will have popped up to replace it.

Once you get past blogs and Powerpoint, and you start to create movie vignettes, the great news is that digital movie software is finally easy enough for the lay person to muddle through a semi-realistic DVD production. I've done two movies in the last two months and figured out how to do soundtracks, transitions, still images, movie segments, title pages, and DVD burning. I know you've done slideshows for baseball, so you already have most of the skills you need. Your strengths as a writer will help you foremost, because no tech in the world will replace human thought and emotion.<br /><br />PS If you really want to fall asleep at night quickly, just bounce over to my blog (linked URL). Works better than Nytol.
