Blog #3 - Chapter Summary
Another one of the tasks that we had to do this week was read the Wiki Summary on "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. We were each assigned a chapter to summarize (yeah, I know, summarize a summary...), and mine was Chapter Three: The Triple Convergence. It was a bit confusing at first, and because I'm not used to working with summaries but instead the text itself, I didn't really know how to get started.
However, last night I read and re-read and re-read the text (it was only a few lines, thank God). After a while, I got the hang of it and decided what I wanted to put in my presentation. At first, I chose to make a PowerPoint, but soon realized that I would most probably have quite a bit of difficulty uploading it, especially to the Ning. I instead decided to make the PowerPoint, and then do print screens of it. I then cropped the print screens and put them, as well as music, together in Window's Movie Maker to create an video. The video took a while to upload, but it's finally here. It can be seen on the Flat Classroom Ning, but I've also embedded it below :). Enjoy!
