BP8_2.0 tools

Egg Quizz is a fantastic tool for the busy classroom teacher. 

With this tool, online quizzes can be created with very little effort and there are choices of various question types including  multiple choice, multiple response, fill in the blank, true/false, word list, essay, matching, and ordering.

It is important to have the first question ask the student their name so their answers can be identified.
All of the information goes into the spreadsheet which is accessible to the quiz creator. Also included in the spreadsheet is information such as how long it took the student to complete the quiz and it gives the final grade  percentage.
I love this application!
I used it to create an entire end of week reading quiz for my class. Of course it is important to test the quiz to be sure it works correctly, and it is a good thing I did. The first time through, I made a couple of mistakes such as not creating the class correctly so they could access it, and I chose to randomize the order of questions so they would be mixed for each student to minimize the chances of cheating. Unfortunately, when I randomized, I didn't realize that even the questions which went with a separate short story would be pushed to another group of questions. Ultimately, after working out the bugs, the test was a success and saved me time from grading papers.
When first checking out the site, it said there was a $50. charge for unlimited quizzes for a year. After creating my first quiz, the "special introductory price" if ordered within 5 days of my first quiz, dropped to $30. for a year.

 To me, and several teachers I know, $30 is well worth the price to create online quizzes which do the grading for us. I know that Google Docs also can create online quizzes, but you must create the formula to have it grade the quiz. I have tried both, and definitely prefer www.eggquizz.com

Adjusting the level of ambient sound, importing sound from other areas of the video, and adding sound effects, adding movement to still shots, and using a green screen are also notable features I am excited to use in future videos. I LOVE I-MOVIE!!

Here is my completion certificate!!

YAY!!! I can hardly wait until I can use what I have learned!

Learning to add picture in picture to my videos will definitely prove helpful when creating my videos from now on. Switching between picture and picture and the regular video is also an awesome feature. I am excited to use these in my next video.

I loved the IMovie training on lynda.com. I had figured out a lot of it when working on previous projects,  but there was so much more to learn from archiving pictures and videos straight from the camera, to advanced actions like 

picture in picture

.

During this point of the training, I learned about adjusting transitions so none of the video gets lost. When working on one of my videos for the EDMT program, I became extremely frustrated because I could not keep from losing part of the video before a transition. Now I know how to put in transitions without losing any video!
