Alligators

I decided I didn't want to videotape myself explaining how to do something, so instead I used the iMovie application on my Mac to piece together a "how-to" using pictures saved on my computer.  I know from my blog it looks like I'm obsessed with water creatures, and I guess I kind of am, but honestly I just had so many pictures from this cajun swamp tour that this was the easiest thing to do. 

I'm hoping I will have time to rework this before Tuesday, so think of this as a preview or rough draft.

I would love suggestions, such as, do you think I should put cajun zydeco music in the background, or would that be inappropriate given the morbid nature of alligator attacks?  People from where I live are very used to the presence of alligators and sharks, and honestly make sort of a joke of it, but I wouldn't want to offend anyone who has lost a loved one to an animal attack.

I just think it is a little boring and needs something extra, but I can't think of what I could do to save time and headache.  I don't mind putting the extra time in for this project, but I am trying to learn about practical ways I can use technology like this in my classroom, and practical means it can't be that complicated or time-consuming.

I've had a lot of trouble uploading this video onto the page, but I don't know how to do it in format other than Quicktime.

Anyway, if you have comments, questions, or suggestions, let me know. Thanks for viewing!
