Welcome to my Blogsite

My name is Bonnie Hicks and I teach computer classes to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at Whitewater Middle School in Fayette County. I am presently pursuing my specialist degree in Instructional Technology and hope to graduate in May of 2009. I created this blog as a requirement for Integrating Technology for Dr. Baylen at the University of West Georgia. My plans are to use this site as a means of communication with my students and fellow educators. Over time, I will highlight useful tech tips and links to resources for readers of my blog site. Hopefully,it will remain a work in progress as I continue to be introduced to some of the exciting tools offered in Web 2.0.

Digital Blue Digital Movie Creator Camera

After reading an education research article about the Digital Blue Digital Movie Creator Camera, I thought I needed to share this information with my fellow educators. I have not personally used this camera but have heard about it from others and it is suppose to be a great tool which allows students to make their own movies. Considered "kid-friendly", this camera comes with editing software, which enables the students to add special effects, titles, credits, sounds, audio, and animation. They can direct and record video and audio images while at or away from their computer. If anyone knows more about this camera please respond because I am seriously thinking about purchasing one for my classroom. It is also reasonably priced. Check out the link if you are interested and let me know what you think.
