What did you do this week?
This week I tried to use 3dsMax to create objects and backgrounds. Created a music audio file using GarageBand. Helped students understand and put together a Scripting Proposal. Continue my work on research for a comparative analysis.
What did you learn this week?
What I learned this week working on my research about camps I discovered Camp Kodiak (a camp for children and teens with or without ADHD, LD, and high functioning Autism spectrum disorder). Camp Twitch and Shout (a camp for children ages 8 to 17 diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome). Camp Winston (a camp for Nerodiverse children and youth).
This week I learned the amazing things our students can do. With their challenges and each student’s uniqueness I watch them create their projects using difficult software. One of the students used Adobe After Effects to create his video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39gukmz17Kg).
What are your thoughts about what you did and learned this week?
This week I learned a lot about different types of software which I found quite hard to use and difficult to understand. I almost gave up. I developed a great admiration for the amazing things the students can do. Their willingness to never give up even when they’re very frustrated is a lesson we can all learn and take to heart.
Did you run into any problems? How did you resolve them?
This week’s problems had more to do with many different personalities and different opinions clashing together in the small room. To resolve these issues, we work together as a team to hear both sides and come up with a solution. Talking your problems out or going for walks can help in defusing a negative situation.
Next week I will be helping the students put together their amazing portfolios. I am so excited Monday is not coming soon enough.
