Kochi's historic dhobi khana, run by Tamils,
Veli Street in Fort Kochi - Dhobi Khana - The first sight that greets you inside the gate is an array of men and women ironing clothes with these songs providing a musical background. Most of them are old and grey haired. Pass through into the next portion of the three-acre compound of the Khana, and you see 40 wash pens lined up in a row. Although a huge washing machine stands in the first wash pen, no one seems to use it. This is what might possibly be the only Dhobi Khana (community laundry space) in Kerala, existing in the city successfully for many decades, thanks to a fair number of Kochi citizens who prefer their clothes washed by hand. The origins of the dhobi khana lie in the colonial period, when British officers brought many Tamil villagers to Kochi to work as washermen. This Tamil community was first organised together in the 1920s, and came to be known as the Vannar community and has retained its cohesive identity over the years. At present, there are about 40 families in the community who use this Khana. Each cubicle with wash pens and water tanks is allotted to one family. 75-year-old Murugappan, who started doing this job when he was 15 years old, says that they still rely on traditional, elaborate procedures for washing clothes.
“First we soak the clothes in water mixed with detergent for some time. Harder clothes are washed by beating them on the stones. To remove stains easily, a pinch of chlorine is also used. After that the clothes are rinsed twice in fresh water,” he says.
“For starching cotton clothes,” he adds, “we still use the traditional method of dipping them in rice water. No modern day starches can give so much crispiness as rice water does.”
“Then, women from the family hang these washed and starched clothes in the sun. We dry the clothes for almost 5 hours,” he says. Interestingly, no one here ever uses clips to keep clothes from falling off the line; instead they all use a technique of tucking clothes between the ropes in such a way that they are never disturbed by the wind.
We use charcoal irons for ironing the clothes. Some of these irons were brought from Sri Lanka decades ago,” Murugappan explains.
Murugappan says that this process has remained unchanged for at least the last 40 years.

2) 19th of June, 2016 will mark the beginning of an intense period of 2 months which will start on this day and last until the 20th of August. This period is going to be immensely rich in chances and opportunities and could even be one of the most intense periods that you have ever lived through.
3) To be a little more precise, these chances and opportunities will be on 3 major levels of your life: greater harmony and balance in your love life; financial gain which may or may not be linked to a game of chance such as the lottery and a sudden evolution in the professional side of your life.
4) During this period you will have the prime opportunity to find a permanent solution to the problems which have been dogging you for some time now. You will be able to resolve these issues.
5) This is another point which I don't think should be ignored. During this 2 month period you will certainly have the opportunity to meet someone who will be very important in your life and who will have a great deal of impact on your personal development and looks likely to bring very positive change to many different areas of your life.
6) This period will really represent a rebirth and the start of a whole new cycle in your life however I must warn you that you must be on your guard against certain exterior elements that may perturb you during this same period and which, if you are not careful, could ruin your chances for success. You will need to be very vigilant and must be ready to put yourself in just the right place and at the right time to make the most of these opportunities which will be available to you over these 2 months.
I wanted to warn you as soon as possible about this period, as soon as I found out that it was coming up I wanted to write to you directly as this period is to my mind the single most important event you have lived through in your life so far. Our lives are made up of cycles and, if you can correctly seize the opportunities open to you in these 3 major areas of your life I have told you about, it seems clear to me that the period between 19th of June, 2016 and the 20th of August will represent the beginning of a new and exciting period in your life.

TODAY TRIED INCOPY
PAID $55 TO JENNA FOR READING – after reading online about this I will cancel the payment – tried Chase but they have to wait for the account before cancelling it. Stupid me this is a fraud. Bottom line is just be alert to the moment and find a way out of our debts and difficulties no transits coming along will change that.
• “your astrological transit is going to start in very few days., it is imminent, probably we are talking about a couple of days or even a couple of hours left till the beginning of your transit.”
• I have also seen an opportunity for you to travel that will be presented to you and if you know how to grab it you are going to move. I have also seen an encounter or a possibility of an encounter with the person who will later play a significant role in your life. You should absolutely not miss out this encounter as this person will play a very important role in your life later on.
• the role of travelling in reaching your financial stability during last months of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 (this one I doubt as I need to do my liver treatment beginning in November)
• how you can use the opportunities that will be presented to you to achieve recognition at work (I don't have a job so recognition at work is hardly a go)
• what areas you are likely to gain financial success in November, December 2014 and in January 2015 and how you can seize these opportunities (as there will be no TRT for mid-December through January this will be interesting)

waiting all day to hear whether we will get the loan for 147 Perseverance from Commonwealth.Narda rang to say 12:30 Commonwealth rang to say we did not get the loan for 147. The reason because we did not have our renters in the States -
Don't know what to do want to get out of our buyer's agreement but maybe stuck with it unless we can not get financing – John the seller agent said he could get a broker to help us get a loan which means we still may get a loan.
see email from astrologer below (22 October) that didn't work out did it?
Went to Semiphore Beach had chips and chiko rolls trying to get out of our bad mind set.

In the coming days several planets will find themselves in the position where they will have very powerful repercussions on your personal life Terrell and the position where the planets Venus, Jupiter and Mars will find themselves will trigger big changes in your personal life and more precisely in what you are particularly concerned about at the moment, that is to say your finances and your professional situation.
In fact, Terrell in the coming days you are going to find yourself in a very beneficial and very lucky astrological configuration (what we call “transit” in astrology) when several opportunities will be open to you and especially important development is waiting for you in your professional activity.

TOOK FIRST SLEEPING PILLS SINCE MELBOURNE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS AGO.
Moreover the number 4 also appeared in my flash that I have just had about you Terrell, it seems to me that this number 4 has something to do with a date , I can see a close date which contains number 4 in it (it can be 14 or 24 but for sure it has 4 in it) and which will be a crucial day in your life with very strong events that appear to be linked to something extremely positive as in my flash this number 4 was clearly associated with a good news and joy.

Narda to work me home started using old computer and Word with InDesign and tutorial word=indesign. About five hours of tutorial
Made dental appointment for November 04 2 pm having a bit of an issue with upper left side maybe a cavity
This is a rare phenomenon that is not going to happen again for a long period of time Terrell, which is the source of this powerful intensity of the transit that you will be going through. This transit is going to last for 72 days, this is going to be a moment that can be considered as a window of time during which a lot of opportunities will be presented to you and you absolutely have to seize these opportunities. This is why I have told you before that the months of September, October and November 2014 are going to be decisive in your life Terrell, we are probably talking about the most important period in all your existence and you will remember for a very long time this period of the year 2014. This also confirms all the changes that I have sensed through the flashes I have had about you Terrell. In fact I would like to tell you that I have been doing readings for years now, I have helped thousands of people and I have rarely felt the flashes of such intensity.

Wrote up above with astrological and planned table whilst Narda was with Brendan shopping - he goes back to Hanoi in couple of days.
Our conversation is mainly on finding a place to shift to - the same conversation of the past few years. Looking forward to being in a new place so we can focus on something else in life.
At this time looking to start treatment for liver sometime in November.
Feeling a bit positive about trying to do an ebook on Wombat with video clips about various animals and starting on ebook on tofu cooking.
looked at my astrology for the first time in about a decade probably should not have…. but if anything good happens before the end of the year that would be good. Want to travel want to travel business class.
I was 67 years and two months old when I realised I should chill out and live fully in the moment and stop worrying about what we owed and our rapidly increasing debts. Actually my life has been a series of rapidly increasing debts and I am bored thinking and worrying about it.
Saturday November 11 - looked at houses - one was OK big shed entrance to hills probably would do us. First look at InDesign CC 2014 October update with embedded video. I will put embedded video into Wombat story

|Jupiter will be in Quincunx with Neptune. These movements are going to have direct repercussions on your professional path, as several new opportunities you are not waiting |
|for at the moment will be presented to you during this period from September to November 2014 thus opening new direction in front of you. These developments and professional |
|opportunities seem to be directly linked to the inflow of money to you Terrell during this fall. I can feel that you have asked yourself certain questions in regards to your |
|financial situation and I sense that you have felt stress about this issue, but I can confirm to you that I clearly see an inflow of money to you before the end of this year |
|2014. top |
|Uranus being in semi-sextile with the asteroid Chiron in your astral sky shows that you will be taken to make trips during this this last part of 2014; it is difficult to tell|
|for the moment if we are talking about a foreign trip for professional purposes or the change in the place of living |
|This transit is going to last for 72 days, this is going to be a moment that can be considered as a window of time during which a lot of opportunities will be presented to you|
|and you absolutely have to seize these opportunities. |
|I have just had a new flash about you Terrell, I have just seen that you will have to make a crucial choice and take an important decision during the period from September to |
|November 2014. |
From Hand’s transits for now
|Jupiter conjunction |September 2014 |During this time you will confront your own inhibitions and self-restrictions, as well as the restrictions placed upon you by |
|Saturn: A new |until beginning of|circumstances. You may wish to break free of them in order to enlarge your scope of activity, so you can go to places and do things that |
|freedom |May 2015 |you have never been able to do before. On the other hand, you may choose to grow within the structure of restriction in your life, using |
| | |that very structure to enlarge your life. It can go either way, depending very much upon your temperament. And neither way is better as a |
| | |general rule. It depends entirely on what is appropriate in terms of your own life. If you respond by trying to break free, you will begin|
| | |to feel very restless. Events and circumstances will make it clear that you have neglected much that must be done, and the structures of |
| | |your life that have held you back will seem intolerable. You can no longer accept barriers such as responsibilities that you have put up |
| | |with for years, onerous duties or perhaps a built-in fear of breaking away from the established order. Consequently, if you react in this |
| | |way, this is often a time of breaking away and leaping out into a new freedom. This is often accompanied by a change of residence or the |
| | |breakup of relationships. And however catastrophic these changes seem to others, they are usually quite fortunate and allow everything to |
| | |work out for the best. If you respond in the second manner, you will also seek to expand your life and find new freedom, but for a variety|
| | |of reasons you will not overthrow the structures of your life in order to do so. Instead you will seize every opportunity to build new |
| | |structures and expand the already existing order. Whatever you build up now, either in yourself or in the outer world, will be lasting. |
|Jupiter conjunction |September 2014 |This influence brings the urge to achieve to the forefront of your life. You will make great, even extraordinary, efforts to gain success |
|Pluto: |until beginning of|as you personally define it. You work harder and strive to gain your objective with every ounce of energy at your disposal. Consequently, |
|Self-betterment |May 2015 |this influence often occurs just at the moment when some tremendous effort in your life bears fruit. Sometimes there is a tremendous drive|
| | |to gain power, and this influence can bring you power even when you are not trying especially hard to get it. Remember that each person |
| | |has opportunities for a different kind of power. It may be great or relatively humble in terms of the larger society, but it will be |
| | |meaningful to you. This power drive is sufficiently strong that it is difficult to deny, even if it has absolutely no outlet. In that case|
| | |you are likely to get into some kind of conflict with authorities, even to the extent of arrest. If your ambition becomes the irresistible|
| | |force against an immovable society, you will probably be the loser. Therefore you must scan your life to find areas where you can let this|
| | |energy manifest itself. Surely in some area of your life you can better yourself and achieve something that would bring you recognition |
| | |and respect. This is true no matter how depressed you think you are or how downtrodden your circumstances. If you put all your energy into|
| | |working on that, it is quite likely that you will accomplish what you want. The dominant drive of this influence is self-betterment, but |
| | |each individual has to define that term for himself. You can work in that direction now, and how well you succeed depends largely on what |
| | |you mean by betterment. Unfortunately, for some people it means simply money or power. If you are one of them, throughout this period you |
| | |will act as if obsessed, and indeed, power can become a fanatical preoccupation. Other people may become obsessed by an idea, usually |
| | |concerning righteousness or morality. This also carries the danger that you will lose track of all normal human values and try to live |
| | |with a distorted set of standards or concerns. |
|Jupiter conjunction |October 2014 until|Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvellous influences, and indeed it is quite good. At the very least, you will feel good|
|Sun: Exuberant |mid-June 2015 |at this time. Your health is good, and you feel very optimistic. For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if |
|optimism | |you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show |
| | |for it afterward. This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and |
| | |expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing |
| | |and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realising your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this|
| | |configuration, but usually the travelling is more in the mind. This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or |
| | |expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to |
| | |aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase. Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. |
| | |First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out|
| | |on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings |
| | |beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today's luck is not permanent. |
|Jupiter square |Mid-October 2014 |With this influence it is very important that you keep your affairs from getting out of hand. There is a strong tendency to excess, which |
|Jupiter: Impending |until mid-June |may make it impossible to keep up with whatever you are involved in, simply because it is more than you can handle. Be particularly |
|shortages |2015 |careful concerning financial matters, for you are likely to spend without thinking, confident that there is an abundance of money or other|
| | |resources to back you up. You may not notice the pinch immediately, but shortly after this period you may experience shortages that will |
| | |be severely exacerbated if you spend money foolishly now. But money is not the only area of concern. You may be overcommitted to projects |
| | |that demand more time than you really have. So in every area of your life, make sure that you really have the time or resources to do what|
| | |you have set out to do. Do not overestimate the resources at your disposal. If you avoid that pitfall, this can be a very fruitful |
| | |influence, because it gives you more confidence and optimism and allows you to undertake projects that you would ordinarily be reluctant |
| | |to take on. Also your basically positive attitude helps to ensure that your affairs will turn out the way you want. Under this influence |
| | |some persons experience a kind of ego inflation in which they have delusions of grandeur or overestimate their self-importance. This can |
| | |lead to arrogant behavior and inflated pride with little or no real substance behind it. What this influence does is test your sense of |
| | |proportion. You have to know what you really can and cannot do and who you really are. Insofar as you fulfill tho |
|Saturn opposition |End of November |This is one of the most emotionally trying influences. It is frequently associated with domestic or professional problems, emotional |
|Moon: An emotional |2014 until |depression, loneliness, difficulties with women or difficulties with personal relationships, often leading to breakups. This influence |
|trial |beginning of |represents an "alienation crisis," that is, a crisis brought about by the discovery that you have been neglecting your emotional and |
| |September 2015 |psychological needs. As a result you feel alone and disconnected from others, like an alien in the world whom no one else can ever |
| | |adequately understand. To a greater or lesser extent, everyone's life revolves around an overall task or purpose that makes one's life |
| | |unique. The purpose may be a job, motherhood, fatherhood, some movement that you believe in or anything else that gives you a sense of |
| | |purpose. Often an alienation crisis occurs when you discover that you have gone too far too fast in pursuit of your life purpose and have |
| | |neglected your psychological and emotional needs. Perhaps you have neglected your relationships or your domestic life, or you have |
| | |repressed your feelings. In this way you build up a wall between yourself and others, which makes you feel alone and alienated. You must |
| | |make your personal life and your public role or other central purpose work together. That will require changing your lifestyle so that you|
| | |can pay equal attention to both. |
|Saturn trine |Mid-December 2014 |During this time your mind, point of view and styles of thinking and communicating have reached a point of stability. You are quite secure|
|Mercury: Mental |until end of |in them, for you know how and what you think about most things. This is not a time of change but of preparing to use your mind. |
|discipline |September 2015 |Consequently it is an excellent time for any task requiring mental discipline and hard work, such as study, schooling or learning any new |
| | |mental discipline. It is not a very good time for activities requiring great inspiration, intuitive insight and creativity. You will get |
| | |results through hard work and scholarly methods, not through "divinely" inspired insight. This influence favors planning and organization |
| | |of various aspects of your life. You have a definite sense of order in mind, which you can make manifest in your life. This is a good time|
| | |to put your ideas into practice on the material level and to carry out long-standing plans. If you have planned a project, this is a good |
| | |time to do it. With this influence there is a danger that you will let your ideas and opinions become too rigid. It is important that your|
| | |ideas acquire definite form and stability at this time, because in the future they will be challenged very strongly. You must be |
| | |reasonably definite and sure of yourself in order to withstand the challenges. But rigidity will only make those times worse, because your|
| | |thinking will have to be flexible, no matter how certain you are now that you are right. At this time you have an unusual ability to see |
| | |every intricate piece of a whole, and your position on most matters is very clear. Consequently your critical ability is greater than |
| | |usual, and you can see instantly what is wrong in any situation. Just don't let this degenerate into nit-picking. |

1 Class 1 Assignment (Part 1): Find and Post an Educational Video Example
We want to know what inspires you. Look around the web for example of videos that have caught your eye and are in educational/instructional in some way. This could be for content, style, graphics, story, or humor. Then post a link and reflection on why you chose this video. Here are some guidelines:
• Use no more than 200 words to reflect on the video you chose.
• Identify elements of the video that you hope to learn or replicate.
|My primary take-away from using video in an international school for three years was the effect it had on learning and expressions. My school in |
|Northern China on the border of North Korea had students from 25 countries speaking 15 languages. We taught in English but students would speak |
|their native tongue when they were with others of their language which often caused for division and a lack of integration. I taught multimedia |
|classes in middle-school and film in high school. Within three weeks of my courses beginning we had started an in-house TV show. Students as |
|news-gatherers and reporters then producers changed the culture of the school with students having to be on-air for their peers to see. Every |
|student in the middle-school at some time had to be an anchor, presenter, script-writer and editor as one of my classes (the one that did a twice |
|weekly news show) was a part of our six sections (applied studies), six week rotation that lasted for about seven weeks which moved every student |
|through my class at some time. |
| |
|I watched several videos this week for this assignment about students retelling stories and chose “Speaking English by Retelling Stories: 4th grade |
|ESL/EFL” This clip shows the student centeredness of filming when directorship and editing are not used. This would be |
|good raw footage as a start of child narrative expression. |
|As a teacher it is easy to get in the way and direct students and this film reminded me of the authenticity present when leaving expression to the |
|character's own interpretation. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
2 Class 1 Assignment (Part 2):
Reflect on this week’s learning, your hopes and ambitions for your learning during this course, and the learning outcomes you hope to achieve.
|I attempted several times over the years to have a collaborative film project between a class I was leading and another school. I had one short |
|interaction between our school in China and a school in India but after moving to Australia and only doing relief teaching at various schools I |
|have not been able to have a multi-school event as part of a curriculum. Seeing so many different placed folks in this course at present I hope to |
|find a future project within the current network to produce a collaborative student project. |
|I also hope to become aware of how asynchronous communication and activities influence and maintain momentum in a classroom or community operating |
|in a different time-zone and hemisphere. |

|Class 2: Assignment |

| |
|It is after taking shots then looking at them that I realise that I could have done different/more/other shots that I could have used in my story. In a classroom setting this could mean waiting until the next class a week later. This is where the importance of pre-production – storyboarding|
|comes into significance. If all the steps are there then the shots should be too but in reality it is after gathering shots that I think of something that is missing in the story telling process. |
|Students are always in a hurry to film and get on with it and instilling the importance of storyboarding is difficult at times. Usually the younger they are the more difficult. |
|Because I do a lot of my own travel clips I often will have a hundred or so clips of five to twenty seconds then I will storyboard based on the clips I have taken. Of course it is usually impossible to re-take clips when they are done in a place that I may never return to. For myself I make|
|the story from the clips for my students when we are in a lab we can write the story first. I like both methods. |
|In my shot selections for this exercise I used shots from an outdoor market I would buy my weekly groceries from in Northern China. The difficulty is that I am now in Australia and my weekly market of the past three years is a long ways off. In this case I had to go through a folder and |
|find shots that matched our assignment. If it was not raining here today I would have gone out and done the shots in a local reserve and in that case I would have jotted down the shots I needed and I would have had the shots meet the assignment rather than have the assignment match my shots|
|as in this case. |

1 Class 3 Assignment: Reflection Prompt
You’re required to submit a brief, self-certifying reflection for Class 3. As in previous classes, use the “Reflection” box to type a thoughtful reflection (250-500 words) on Class 3. Consider responding to one or more of the following prompts:
• What was your experience of trying to create your script and title sequence? What was easy? Hard? What surprised you? What did you wish you could do that you could not?
• How might you use a project like this in your classroom?
• What new understandings or questions do you have after Live Class 3?
|1. The scripting took awhile to do in Adobe Story as I not used the program before. The easy part was having my shots numbered and prepared. I became muddled with how to described overlaps of photos and clips merging and fading. |
|2. I would have students write their narrative first – like a complete story in a text editor then using Story or a table write the sequences |
|3. Live Class 3 has yet to be posted so I will come back after that and write on that. |
| |
|My key takeaway from Class 3 is that importance of having clips in order before assembling them saves a lot of time. I think there should be an explanation for why a sequence is added. I would have my students (and I will do it myself) have reason behind the shot selections. 'What is the |
|message'. For example, I wanted to show that being in Mynamar can be very chilled so I showed a guard asleep and a bike driver asleep on his bike but I also wanted to show the hurried life of the Western and so sped up a short clip of Westerns on a boat to show how they are rushed even in a|
|slowed down environment. |

2 The Steps of a Story
1. Once upon a time: This is the first part of any film, where we learn the setting, the location, the world in which our story takes place. We’re exposed to the social and technical conventions of the world and we get a sense of time and space.
2. There lived a: Enter the protagonist, the main character and usually the main point of view. This is the protagonist’s story, and he or she will be our primary perspective and the primary decision maker.
3. Who: This is where we get to know the protagonist and his or her background, desires, and goals. These goals will be the driving force in the story.
4. But: Enter the antagonist. The antagonist can be any opposing force, the main barrier between our protagonist and his or her goal.
5. So one day it happened that: This is the initiating event, something that has happened to set the protagonist on a path toward the goal.
6. Then as the result of which: Cause and effect begin here. Every event leads to another event, and tension and conflict keep us interested and anticipating the next move. This step often repeats many times in the middle of the film to build up to the final event.
7. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to: This crucial step is dramatic irony, things the audience or other characters know that the protagonist does not. Not just anything, but important things that will affect the outcome of the protagonists actions. This is also where we might also watch a subplot unfold.
8. Until the time came: This is the beginning of the climax, where the major confrontation between the protagonist and antagonist takes place.
9. When suddenly: In the midst of that challenge or confrontation is a peripeteia, or turning of the tables. This is the twist that causes a temporary reversal of roles.
10. So it turned out that: The denouement or resolution. The major confrontation has finished and tension has eased.
11. And forever after: The tying up of all loose ends and the answers to any remaining questions. Often there is also a look to the future as means of closure.

3 Class 4 Assignment: Reflection Prompt
You’re required to submit a brief self-certifying reflection for Class 4. As in previous classes, use the “Reflection” box to type a thoughtful reflection (150-300 words) on Class 4. Consider responding to one or more of the following prompts:
• How did you come up with your story? Where did you find inspiration?
1. Probably not the best way to come up with a story but recently I asked my son who is a music person with a recording studio in Melbourne, Australia if I could make a video of one of his compositions. He said he was going to have a professional team do it so not being pleased with that answer I decided to make my own 20 second clip of a song he wrote, recorded and had a friend sing. I probably will not share it with him but in the future when I get better – much better – at doing and editing clips I may make another attempt and send it to him. So the honest answer is that in the first instance it was jealousy and competition that got me started on this particular music selection.
2. I was playing with the colour selection effects on my camera (Nikon D5100) and picked red and green. I thought these colours especially the red would highlight the song from an emotional point of view. Secondly, I chose a stuffed bear that has been following me since I was three years old which is more than 64 years and it has often asked me to be in a photo shoot (oops how does one hear these things?) so the bear plus a red flower both as a plastic flower and as a real flower in my garden were chosen. I like the overlaps and fades effects in Premier and no doubt over used them like one does with using lots of different fonts in their adolescent creativity (OK at 67 I have passed that phase or should have). BTW the font I used in this is my new favourite font from the Adobe collection – 'felt tip woman'. I wanted to give the feeling of travel and stationary effects so I had some clips above the clouds and landing as well as the bear being zoomed in. Being a Kurzweil fan I wanted to include his writing that shows up here with synthetic music where the human musician is buttons being pushed on a keyboard so I have the bear sitting on the Kurweil authored book 'The Age of Spiritual Machines; When computers exceed human intelligence'.
• Was it easy to come up with different shots? Where there any unique shots you chose for a specific purpose?
The different shots were easy but writing out what I wanted in Adobe Story took a lot longer than I had anticipated. See next page. I chose the red colour selection on the effects setting to highlight red throughout the story.
• Did the principles of shot composition and film grammar play into your shot choices? How so?
This is the area of weakness I am learning how to address.
My take-away from this is to write a narrative first then do the shots. If I did this over I would create characters and call them shots as at the end I realised my still images, including the bear, could have been characters and I could have written a narrative that would illustrate their alleged emotions. The second take-away is to determine before I start whether I am puttinng music to imagery or imagery to music. In this case I started with the music but at some point I was more dedicated to the imagery than the music so the music seems secondary.
The music is from my son Sacha at and he gave me permission to use any of his stuff I wanted to in the past. Though after this he will probably change his mind.

Decided to make my instructional video on tofu cooking – making a burger and a cheesecake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaI
n film, film grammar is defined as follows:
1. A frame is a single still image. It is analogous to a letter.
2. A shot is a single continuous recording made by a camera. It is analogous to a word.
3. A scene is a series of related shots. It is analogous to a sentence. The study of transitions between scenes is described in film punctuation.
4. A sequence is a series of scenes which together tell a major part of an entire story, such as that contained in a complete movie. It is analogous to a paragraph.
"cross-cutting"—using film editing to alternate between different events occurring at the same time—in order to build suspense.
By completing Class 5, you'll:

In Class 5 we begin a two-week project to create a great instructional video. You will plan, shoot, edit, and export an amazing lesson for your classroom. Keep the following guidelines in mind to help make your video the best it can be:
• Take the time to plan out each shot and sound.
• Vary your shots.
• Look to story and emotion to engage your audience.
• Make sure your video has a beginning, middle, and end.
• Know the limitations of your equipment and look for creative ways to achieve the visuals you want.
• Keep it simple.
Step 5: Class 5 Assignment
Create a short instructional video for your classroom. Following the tutorials shared in the previous step, begin your final project. For this week you'll only need to post your pre-production materials (i.e. outline, script, story etc.). We'll ask you to post your video in Week 6.
However, if you choose to create a rough cut of the video, participants and tutors will be able to review and provide feedback. Upload the video (if you've created one at this point) to Vimeo and share the URL.

lesson 2
Class 2 Assignment: Reflection
It is clear that “Bullying” leads to reincarnating as a tree stomp.
Combining digital images sometimes tells a story that a simple photo may not be able to. In this collage I chose several photos from a recent trip to Laos. We have run many campaigns on bullying at school and I thought I would change the message a bit as students begin to gloss over after hearing and seeing the bullying messages year after year. As I was teaching in an international school in China with students from more than 25 countries, many being Asians where reincarnation is discussed and often believed in, unlike superstitious Western countries where it is frowned on I thought I would use reincarnation as one more direction to say being a bully is budget.
There was nothing difficult with this simple collage as I have been using Photoshop since the 1990s.
I would use this as a theme in a class in social studies and comparative cultures. Billions of people believe there is more to life than the fanciful notion of going to heaven or hell for crap behaviour and the concept that one is responsible for their actions goes further than this one life time is a great debate concept.
Adding to this I would have students contribute to a debate on the beliefs of different religions and the concepts of karma or cause and effect for behaviour.
After class two my new understanding or added to understanding is that the manipulation of images can coincide with the manipulation of behaviour.
Lesson 3 = Wombat poster
I made a poster in InDesign for a children's story. The story is about a child who lives with his father and brother. His room is so untidy that various animals move in through an open-window. The animals live in his room for a long time before they are discovered.
The story is an e-book in progress with links to animals in the Adelaide Zoo. Children are able to learn about various animals and through the interactiveness of this project they will be able to tell their own stories about interactions with the animals that they learn about. This is primarily for primary school children.
It can be used in several subject fields such as creative writing, art, science and even music. My wife who is a music teacher is working on a musical for this which will involve children in grades Reception (kindergarten in USA) through seventh grades.
Week 4 top - Professional: Digital Creativity
February 06 2015 start
• Development/pre-production
• Production
• Post-production
1 Three steps to getting started
Creating a finished piece of video usually involves three key steps:
1. Development/pre-production
This is the step in which you generate and explore a number of ideas.
After identifying the strongest concept, you write a script. (While it’s not always possible to script documentary work, you can write a summary that helps you to plan the narrative and the emotional arc of the finished work.)
Once the script is finalized, identify and number the key scenes and shots to create a shooting script. For an animated video, create a storyboard — a rough panel drawing of each scene in the video.
During the development phase, it’s important to organize locations, actors, or interviewees as well as any props, costumes, and crew required for the video shoot. Create a shooting schedule — a sort of diary for the film shoot that lists the locations, times, and dates for all the cast and crew — to help with this task.
2. Production
Production is the process of shooting and gathering the video and audio content from which your final video will be created. In certain situations, you can shoot a film with just a one-person crew. However, it’s often helpful to have a small crew to take care of sound and camera work. A director is often necessary to coordinate the production and make creative decisions.
Scenes are often shot a number of times in order to reposition the camera(s) to try out alternative angles. Additional shots or takes may be needed if an actor makes a mistake or if something falls over during the filming.
3. Post-production
Post-production involves taking the video and audio assets created during the production phase and editing them into a final narrative sequence.
The editor will watch the recorded video clips and select the best shots to use in the finished video. Using editing software, the editor will trim the clips, place them in sequence, and add music, titles, sound effects, and voiceover to enhance the story. The editor will then export the final film in a format compatible with how and where it will be viewed, for example on DVD or the web.

__started 12 February 2015
If you cannot attend the live class, please view one or both recordings. The recordings will be published here approximately one hour after the live session ends.
As I am working with lower primary classes at this time I used Muse to make a site about a trip I took to Laos and Viet Nam a few months ago. I spent way too long learning Muse and tried every bell and whistle. I have been using Dreamweaver since it was Dreamweaver at the end of the 1990s and I was teaching it at university by 2002 (University of NY at Albany). Dreamweaver MX is still probably the easiest to teach as it is quite basic. I have used every update for the past 15 years and spent most of today using the Dreamweaver 2014 upgrade that came today (13 February 20015). I love Dreamweaver and have created many a thousand pages over the years. Before Dreamweaver I made my pages from html code and I still like to do that but Dreamweaver makes it faster but to have full control and not so many useless lines of code that these packages create which makes the pages heavier is nonsense it is best just to create a page in notepad or any text editor and use simple html.
Mostly I detest Muse but I thought I would learn or at least give it a go. With Dreamweaver it is so easy to find everything in my folder, With Muse there are so many folders made: publish, edge_includes and etc. some folders are great as they are the same with any editing program (assets, css, images, and etc.). The thing is I am unable to load my pages a few weeks later. Plus there is no way to adjust the code which makes Muse totally useless. I have taught students from grade 6 through high school and at universities to write html. Muse dumbs down the creative experience and makes it all just a click and drag exercise. I would and did say almost exactly the same as this below...
“The majority of developers and designers we’ve talked to argue that Muse is proof Adobe has lost its way, doesn’t understand web design and web designers, and has created software that could damage the future of the web.”
Bottom line – I could have make this site a lot easier, cleaner, more responsive in Dreamweaver or even hand coding but I am trying every product in CC and this is what I did.
Week six today< top
_____week six
my is at
Behance like any social sharing website could be useful for students to display their work. However, it would not be my choice as there are so many web sharing portals that are better where students can create a homepage and links to their work such as , , (more primary and middle school friendly), (more high school friendly than younger), and of course Flickr and so many more. Every school I have been at for the past 15 years there would be at least four to ten different sites being used for student portfolios. At my last school, Dalian American International School in Dalian China we used Google sites and that worked well except for periods when the government decided to shut down Google.
My portfolio was easy to set up. I started with geocities back in 1995 which was similar until yahoo took it over in 1999 made an absolute mess of it then deleted it. Since then hundreds of these type of sites have come I built sites on dozens of those early sites in the 1990s and the first years of the 000's. angefire (though no longer free lilke Tripod and several others) still linger. Of course there was MySpace which was like Behance too.
This is a very limited service and is really for creative cloud users to exchange their work.
The positive about using this service at the end of week six was to put in the work I have done for this particular course.
2 Final Assignment Rubric for Success:
Your lesson plan should do the following:
• Integrate content from at least one of the six classes.

Make a poster in InDesign for a children's story.
The story is an e-book in progress with links to animals in the Adelaide Zoo. Children are able to learn about various animals and through the interactiveness of this project they will be able to tell their own stories about interactions with the animals that they learn about. This is primarily for primary school children.
It can be used in several subject fields such as creative writing, art, science and even music. My wife who is a music teacher is working on a musical for this which will involve children in grades Reception (kindergarten in USA) through seventh grades.
• Provide instruction for your students on some aspect of principles covered in this class.
• Encourage students to be creative.
• Give students resources for technical help.
• Give students instructions on final output/submission requirements.

3 Reflect
• What has been your most meaningful learning experience as an adult? What made it meaningful?
I did not start university until I was in my late 40s then I did 14 years all the way through getting a PhD. Since my mid-50s I have taught in three countries at four universities and in both public and private schools in New York and at an international school in China.
Before then my learning experiences in life was as a party explore the world individual.
My most meaningful learning experience is that education has not stopped me from being a free and creative individual.
• What was your least effective experience as an adult learner? Why was it ineffective?
My least effective experience as an adult learner has been following other's standards and ways of doing things. It was ineffective because my teachers were usually half my age and did not have a clue about life but they knew how to follow the common core or whatever standards they were championing at the moment because they were told to.
• What is your initial reaction to Knowles’s assumptions about adult learners?
1. need to know – there is too much to do in a day to waste one's time with anything not relevant
2. self directing – going at ones pace gives a stronger learning experience – too push ahead before the person is ready is to lose them
3. lifetime of experience – the creativity of an adult is based on their lifetime of experience
4. relevancy oriented – don't waste time or give information that is not necessary
5. problem centred – I do not agree this is always necessary – learning can also be for enjoyment such as creating a film and it does not need to be problem centred. This is so overused – we do not need to go through life with everything being a problem needing to be fixed – this comes from a person not having enough experience in life to let go and be stress free and just to enjoy the experience of learning without there have to be an end result.
6. intrinsic and extrinsic motivators – mumble jumble – enjoy learning for the sake of learning – evolved adults are able to do this.
As one who did his whole higher education after the age of 44 (I had a 10th grade 'formal' education prior) from a BA to an Honours, Masters, PhD and teacher's degree primarily as distant education whilst being a single parent and working over a 20 year intense period between 1990 and 2010 I have really never known anything except as an adult learner. I had to be self directed and only address what I needed to know in order to fit education into my life style during a time when I lived and taught in three countries, raised children and lived in some fifteen places.
• Do you agree or disagree with the above assumptions?
Having done this I totally agree.
• How can you apply these best practices to your learning sessions?
The most important aspect of an adult learner is to respect their knowledge. Letting the adult learner apply their current knowledge to the learning session is first.
Which of these strategies do you currently incorporate into your professional development sessions?
1 . Forming small groups then coming back to the total group to discuss findings gives more individual input.
2. giving choices for activities
Which of the strategies, tools, and tips do you think will be most useful for you in your future professional development sessions? Why?
Giving teachers opportunities to discuss their prior practices I found to be an incredible tool at my previous school which was an international school in China with teachers from about 20 different countries with many different approaches to teaching. I was the technology integration specialist and led many professional developments both at our school and at international conferences.
Because there were all subjects involved it was important for teachers to know why they were learning about something and how it would apply to their particular subject area. Some topics such as teaching about Power School which was used for attendance, grades, and etc. or Rubican Atlas was straight forward – theses were school wide tools for administration and exchange. Other topics such as using web creation tools or film in the classroom were designed for the individual subjects.

• What do you know
• What would you like to know
• What did you learn
• What is your experience and interest in eLearning? (For example, do you use it to deliver your professional development trainings? Do you help educators incorporate eLearning into their teaching practices?)
My first experience with eLearning was the past two decades of my own learning doing a BA, BA with Honours, Masters, PhD, Teachers Degree all as eLearning.
From my past leadership jobs as technology integrator and instructor at an international school, public and private schools in New York and at four different universities between Australia and the States I have incorporated eLearning with professional development. For example, the past three years I led a 'technology Monday' once a month where teachers demo or I demonstrated a tool such as a web creation program or graphic or text editing software and teachers would break into groups for their subjects to explore and find ways to incorporate the tool into their curriculum. During the following month I would engage online with their work.
• This week in the Professional Development Design section of the course, we explored best practices in adult learning theory. Do you think it’s possible to meet the needs of the adult learner in an eLearning or online learning environment? Which of Knowles’s six assumptions about the way that adult learners learn is easily met in an eLearning environment? Which of the assumptions is more difficult to meet? Why?
Self-directed E-learning coupled with face-to-face learning (which includes Skype and etc.) is an effective method for adults (teachers past 40) as the mature learner tends not to try multi-tasking but stays on task. I have let many professional development sessions and taught university classes with young adults (below 40-45) spending the majority of the session on social media or emailing or engaged in self centred promotions.
The 'need to know' is the most easily achieved by presenting concise to the point material and preventing the need to segue into unnecessary material.
I have found the self-directing most difficult especially with young teachers (age 22 – 40; I consider an adult teacher as one over 45 and an experienced life teacher as one over 50 and a chilled teacher able to really share as one over 60; soon I will be 70 then I will have first hand knowledge of learners in their 70s) as their sessions would often end as gossip sessions and I would need to assist with getting back on task.
• Where are you from?
I lived in the states 1947 – 1980; in New York until 1965 then all over the country until 1980 when I moved from Hawaii to Australia until 2002 and lived in New York 2002 – 2010 and China 2010 – 2014; currently living in South Australia.
• What is your professional background?
I am currently a sub teacher in schools in South Australia. Previously I have taught at four universities between New York and South Australia and I have taught in private and public schools in New York and at an international school in China. I have been in administration as Director of Technology, technology integration, middle school leader, and I have been an educational trainer. I have been everything from a street artist in Australia and the States to a food manufacturer (tofu factory in Australia for eight years) to a single parent for 18 years, brother in an occult order for a decade, hippie, web developer, chief and lots of other things.
• Who is in your typical professional development audience?
PD = teachers with little to no prior experience with Adobe tools, and other teachers for technology integration.
• What Adobe tools do you use?
Since 1990s I have used Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop, Firewoks and Flash. The past several years my focus has been Premier as I have taught film.
• What are your personal goals for the Train the Trainer course?
To set up school based video shows for teacher training and for students to have in-house TV. I hope to do this at numerous schools in South Australia then at international schools throughout Asia as a private consultant.

Lesson 2
Professional development session plan will also serve as your final assignment.
4 Final Assignment
For the final assignment, you’ll apply the skills you’ve learned throughout the course to design an effective and engaging professional development session to meet the needs of your particular audience. The final project is intended to be a practical and relevant tool that course participants can immediately use and apply to their professional practice.
Ultimately, the professional development session that you design for the final project will be used to empower your audiences with the skills and knowledge to use digital media to foster creativity in their classrooms. It should meet your needs as an education trainer, and your audience’s needs as well.
What products can I use for my final assignment?
You can use any Adobe product you like — it doesn’t have to be one we highlighted in the course. The final project is intended to be as useful to you as possible, so choose a product that works best for you and your audience!
How long does the professional development session have to be?
You should write the professional development plan that best meets your needs. If you have three hour sessions with the educators at your school or university, then write a session plan for a three-hour workshop. If you have six hours with your participants, then write a session plan for a six-hour workshop. Your final project should, however, be written for a single session, not a series of workshops or a semester- or year-long plan.
5 Week 2 Assignment: Minimum Requirements
In order to be rated a 3 or above, you must do the following:
• Complete and upload the pre-planning sheet.
• Indicate your audience, session title, session time, and products used.
• Write your learning objectives for the session.
• Reflect on how you’ll incorporate best practices in adult learning theory.
• Reflect on how you’ll incorporate best practices in technology training.
6 Peer Review
When providing peer feedback on the weekly assignments, please offer your fellow course members:
• One comment of praise about something you valued.
• One question about something that wasn’t clear to you.
• One suggestion that you think would improve the assignment.
7 Reflect:
• What’s the role of software companies like Adobe in supporting education reform? Who’s doing it right? Who’s getting it wrong? Why?
There are many software companies supporting education. Education reform is about letting a teacher teach and not be at the mercy of technology that the school can not afford.
I have a problem with most software companies. I have been teaching Adobe software since it was Macromedia. At university (State University of NY at Albany 2002 – 2006) I taught Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, InDesign and Fireworks. I have taught these programs in K - 12 schools in New York and China from 2006 – 2014. In the 1990s I taught information technology courses at the University of South Australia.
I have been the technology director at schools as well the technology integrator and computer and film teacher. From 15 years of experience I have not seen any indication of students improving creativity with any digital software at the primary or middle-school level. Comparing what they do with non-digital items such as clay, paper, ink, paint, materials, lego and etc. to what they do with photoshop or any other digital software is quite stark.
Even as a film teacher and having started and run a twice weekly news show for the past three years I only used Adobe products for my own work. This is because Adobe CC is banned in China and I believe in most Asian countries. As an American I was able to use my US credit card to have CC. Now living in Australia and teaching in schools here there is not a problem. My students used simple film editing software that was free to get really good results for their films and news shows. Bells and whistles in software are fun but for students learning how to write a script and to shoot shots all they need is their phone or a simple camera, a text editor (we used Open Office as it was free and just as good as Microsoft Office) and simple free video editors.
Where Adobe comes into worthiness is at upper high school and in universities. Primary and middle-school should not be using Adobe they should be using books, materials, pens. There is a lot of research on technology in education and nothing proves that students are learning more or being more creative learning a particular software. Students should be exposed to programming like via code academy or free basic drawing and photo enhancement software. I started students learning to make web pages not with Dreamweaver but with learning html in middle school. Students should not be using programs like Muse to create webpages. They should learn to program their own pages. Upper high school and university students should be exposed to Adobe software and if their career calls for it then they have a starting knowledge of it.
Adobe is not the end result for all students. It is a great marketing company that wants to give the look of being supported of education not its share owners.
“CS is Adobe’s biggest revenue driver and makes up 54% of its estimated value. This segment generated approximately $2.3 billion in revenue in 2012, and we expect this to grow to $4.2 billion by the end of our forecast period. “
I love Adobe production but it is because I use it for my own hobbies and creative endeavours. As one who travels a lot I like using Premier for my travel videos; I use Adobe to illustrate my son's music, my writing, and so much more. However, in schools I have seen the ugly side of what is happening in education as schools are becoming bankrupt trying to keep up with software.
Most private schools are fine. I teach at public schools in Australia that do not have a budget for pens and books let alone any software. My last international school which charged a lot per student did not have any money for software. I was the technology integrator helping teachers find free software to use in classes. I was told the first year and all three years after that I had a zero budget for technology. I was also told this at a public school in NYC where I was the technology integrator. At a prestigious private school in New York where I was the Director of technology I managed to get a grant to get software and yes I got the Macromedia Suite: Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks, inDesign, Flash and taught it in upper high school. At my school in China I got an Intel grant of $25,000 to start a film studio – I wanted to get software but by the time I went to purchase software the school incorporated the grant into another budget.
I think Adobe does it wrong. I know I am doing a course to help integrate Adobe into schools and if there is a budget for it I will gladly support it but for primary schools and middle schools I believe Adobe should have scaled down free software for schools. Schools are going broke trying to keep up whilst Adobe's new subscription model is making it billions of dollars. All the time disguising itself as being educational friendly. In my own little world I am like my students; they can not afford Adobe in the future when they no longer can have free access at school or like me now get an educational discount. I will retire next year and I will not afford Adobe's subscription. Even though I have twenty years experience and I have taught these programs I will have to find free software to continue with my digital creativity, and fortunately there are lot of alternatives that are free-ware.
The term "digital native" was coined in 2001 by an Ivy League (Oberlin, Yale, and Harvard Business School) writer, who has a self-interest in promoting the claims in his books.
I do not believe, and there is no evidence to support it, that software companies are helping with educational reform.
• What was your biggest takeaway from this week’s Adobe 101 section?
It is good that there are programs of such high quality. However, I find it difficult being an Adobe advocate knowing that my school can not afford the programs and that those we do trial the students when they do learn them and when they do graduate from school will not be able to afford them in the future when they no longer can get free access or educational prices but instead will be paying $50, $70 perhaps a hundred dollar a month for subscription in the future. Like giving drugs for free until someone becomes dependent we are turning out students who may believe that only by using Adobe products will there be a shot at creativity. I have been getting a big backlash from teachers for years as the technology integrator about this. Before it was a subscription model and teachers and students would own their software that did not update over and over to do a job there was some support for spending but now it is almost impossible to convince teachers and administration that they need to pay monthly subscriptions to be, what? Creative? Holy gunsmoke.
Also Adobe needs to have some older teachers on their team. Seeing a lot of 20 or 30 year olds with Marge Simpson scratchy voices who probably have spent little time in an actual classroom tell us why we need these programs is not a selling point. Where are the seasoned teachers who have been teaching for 30 – 40 years?
• Which of the resources explored in this week’s Adobe 101 section did you find the most useful? Why?
Posting and reading discussions from others is a great resource. I was surprised how many were in the same situation as me – being educational instructors in situations where schools are unable to afford these great resources and that education reform is more than teaching digital creativity.
• How does Ken Robinson’s definition of creativity compare to your definition of creativity?
My sense of creativity comes from one thought; 'let go'. Looking at any situation whether design, philosophising, physical interaction, planting a garden, making up a story or even finding a different way to get from A to B (maybe via Q or T) may start with a preconceived plan but to just let go for a moment often times gives a direction never thought of before. I know I should not say this but in the 1960s and 1970s by taking LSD or any one of those types of mind altering enhancers we saw new ways to do things. We now have software that can help us expend our consciousness when we want to instantly change our perspective. However I wonder whether people are now missing out on the creative process by having tools available that make change so instant. We are not teaching the step by step of getting to a solution but instead with a couple of clicks we can jump in and morph something that has already been done and say how creative we are. I think the world will lose real creative geniuses in the future because it is all done, digitally. One does not go and meditate on a solution or spend hours/days/months coming up with a new perspective. What once took a life time of learning art to create a master piece now takes a few hours if not few minutes to produce and have on Facebook or Twitter as one's masterpiece. Thanks Adobe for dumbing down a whole generation of creative students.
And yes I very much agree with Robinson's sense of creativity especially his acknowledgement that we are born creative. We do not need software to make us creative.
• Do you agree with his definition of creativity? Why or why not?
And yes I very much agree with Robinson's sense of creativity especially his acknowledgement that we are born creative. We do not need software to make us creative.
• Do you agree with Nicole that allowing students to be creative engages and motivates them to perform better in school?
When any human being is respected for their way of seeing or doing something they will shine.
• How do the students you work with respond to creative opportunities in their learning?
I work with a lot of students from very low income situations now in Australia and I worked with students who lived in shelters or on the street when I taught at a public school in NYC and they respond the same as students I have taught at elite private schools; they need an audience and recognition. I have never come across a student who does not want to share their creativity and shine when praised.
• How do the educators you work with respond to opportunities to be creative in their professional development sessions?
With common core and national curriculum and no child left behind policies many teachers struggle to be able to go off on their own even to the point of finding an alternative way to teach the same material being blocked by administration. I introduced film throughout the curriculum for years and teachers loved having the opportunities to create a film using a green-screen to introduce learning whether it be in science or maths or any other discipline. But I always felt I was going 'under-the-wire' to assist teachers.
• What do you think was the most effective part of this tutorial? Why?
The slow and deliberate and detailed method of demonstrating each step.
• How could you modify this activity to meet your needs?
I believe it is fine the way it is.
• Do you find this video tutorial effective? Why or why not?
Very straight forward and easy to follow. Using a few choices gives an easy learning experience.
• How could you modify this tutorial to meet the specific needs of educators?
Not a lot to change unless giving some examples of different subjects.
• How could students use these one-click tools to express themselves creatively?
By saving four variations for example students could place them on one poster such as InDesign or Acrobat and show the contrasts.

2 How can I incorporate best practices in technology training into my professional learning sessions?
Malcolm Knowles - why he supports process designs rather than content plans for the adult learner.
The constructivist learning model
1 Part I: Guide on the Side, Not a Sage on the Stage
Content Plan Versus Process Design
Malcolm Knowles writes about the difference between content plans and process design. Pedagogues (those who teach children) have traditionally used content plans to design educational activities for children. Content plans are driven by the content to be covered during instruction and how the instructor will transmit that content to the learner.
According to Knowles, andragogs (those who teach adults) should use process designs, rather than content plans, to plan learning activities for adults. Like content plans, process designs focus on the content and skills that have to be covered. The difference is that in a process design the professional development plan is driven by the learning process rather than the content. In other words, the primary focus in process design is how the learner is learning, rather than what information the facilitator is communicating.
In a process design, the professional development trainer does not transmit the content to be learned to the adult; rather the trainer acts to facilitate the acquisition of the learning by the adult. The trainer guides the adult learner as he or she progresses on a learning path, acquiring knowledge from a variety of resources, including his or her peers.
Constructivism
Constructivism is a learning theory that maintains that deeper and more permanent learning happens when the learner is allowed to construct meaning from experience — by doing, analyzing, creating, making, building, researching, synthesizing information, etc. Constructivists, like Knowles, believe that educators should act as facilitators, guiding learners through the learning process, and allowing them to create meaning from their experience. Problem-centered learning, project-based learning, experiential learning, and discovery learning are all constructivist models of learning that allow the learner to learn through experience.
In both the process design learning and the constructivist learning model, the professional development trainer acts as a guide on the side, not a sage on the stage.
• During trainings in which the educators have very little or no prior knowledge of the technology tool, do you think it’s possible (as Knowles and constructivists suggest) to design activities so that the facilitator acts as a guide on the side and not a sage on the stage? If so, how? If not, why not?
When I have had educators work with technology they have not used before I first demonstrate an end result of what the program will do. Whether it is Edmodo, Rubicon Atlas, Power School, Photoshop... whatever the program to see end results gives the starting path to achieve success in something new. Activities then are designed to use the software; for example Rubicon Atlas teachers can look up their subject area and find exemplars of their subject then they can began writing out their curriculum. With Photoshop, to see a manipulated photo and what menus are activated to produce the end result, then activities can be constructed for the educator to have a go at the program.
• Which of these best practices in technology training do you already apply to your professional development sessions?
I use the beginning – what and why they will learn the information on offer; I give a framework of what we will do and why then have them have a go on their own.
• Which of these best practices are you most likely to incorporate now? Why?
I model functionalities and leave most of the training session for participants to have a go and work with individuals as they request assistance.

Terrell Neuage
|Schools do not kill creativity. Individuals do. For decades I have worked with the mind-set of 'going under-the-wire'. My classrooms and my working with teachers as the technology integrator is |
|based on expression and how we give space for expression whether it is the instructor or the student. Having taught every grade K – 12 in both public and private schools in three countries and at |
|four universities in two countries I have always viewed administration as the ones to hold the structure of the school together; the learning I take on myself. The key is not to ask but to do not |
|to take but to give. |
|In other words as soon as the teacher asks administration for guidance then they have given away their rights to let the classroom be free for students to navigate. |
|And to give instead of to take is to give the individuals the freedom to interpret the moment in their way. |
|It is also up to the instructor to provide the tools for creativity whether it is paper, film, camera, software and etc. I am an advocate of free-ware (open-source) and not subscription software |
|because the student will lose their source of creativity if they are using propriety software that they can not afford to pay for in the future so I teach how to find and use free-ware that can |
|expand the student's creative sphere. |
|Robinson says that children have an extraordinary capacity for innovation, and that they aren’t afraid to try things and make mistakes. Educations systems, however, heavily penalize mistakes. "We |
|are educating people out of their creative capacities," according to Robinson. |
|I have not experience this in two decades of teaching, not in public or private school but I supposed we can always find the negative if we go looking for it. Perhaps it is because I did not take |
|the routine direction of education; leaving school in 10th grade to go live in communes and live the hippie life in the 1960s in California then in my mid-40s as a single parent with two boys I |
|decided to start uni and ended up getting a BA in journalism, Honours in Children's Literature, Masters in Communication, a Ph.D. in Information Technology from the University of South Australia, |
|then a teacher's degree (16 years of university non-stop) then I went off and taught at universities and at public and private schools in New York, China and Australia. I never felt hampered in |
|school (maybe being stoned for the last couple of years before leaving 10th grade in the mid-1960s helped) and I have never hampered anyone else's way of learning including my own children one of |
|whom has a 10th grade education and has been influential working with youth with hip hop and visual arts in Melbourne. The other son became a professional baseball player with the LA Dodgers. So |
|the bottom line is that I have never been penalised for mistakes and I have never witness a child being held back. |
|This alleged need to create a creative sphere is created by software companies selling the idea to schools we need them to be creative and hiding the fact that schools are becoming bankrupt |
|because of them. Anyone can walk through any city or see the inventions of the past hundred years to realise creativity is and has been very much alive without any computer software for a very |
|long time. And the fact is that now in the past twenty years we are facing a creative crisis because we are parking students in front of computers to be creative and not letting them use their |
|imagination and hands to create something that is not digital. The creative process is becoming loss due to software doing the creative for us. There is no step-by-step process that artists have |
|used to craft their art as in the past. It is all instant now anyone can create anything musical and not know anything about music or create a digital masterpiece in an hour instead of spending |
|years learning techniques and trying out things. Mistakes? Mistakes in the digital world can be deleted instantly unlike someone who would spend years on a creation such as a sculpture or great |
|art only to see a different way and go for another long period to fix their art. I had a friend who died last year who spent more than ten years on one painting working over sections to get it the|
|way he wanted. He worked hours a night for a decade on it. OK he was a bit nuts as the world sees people but he was much more creative than someone making a collage in photoshop in ten minutes and|
|posting it on Facebook and having a bit of a following. |
|Current education systems were built to meet the needs of industrialization and are "protracted processes of university entrances" that do not meet everyone's needs. |
|One can become a victim of religion, industrialization, family or education if they choose to be. A creative person uses these forms to find their own voice within. It is so trendy to bad rap |
|industrialization when in fact that is what got us to where the world is now. Would those who bag industrialization rather we lived in the stone age like some religions do, living in fear of |
|change? Adobe has been very successfully in harnessing the fear of a lack of creativity to build a multi-billion dollar company that is attempting to make students and teachers feel they must |
|subscribe to or they will not be creative. Are there any awake teachers anywhere any more?Hey I love Adobe products and I have used Dreamweaver, Flash, InDesign, Photoshop since the 1990s but now |
|with this subscription model they are making you attached to them for life at whatever cost they want to increase to. (As a soon to retire 67 year old who will live on a pension and not afford |
|educational prices I will be just like all those students who get Adobe at school for nothing or not much cost only to discover that once on their own the cost will be substantial and what they |
|will no longer be creative because they can not access Adobe products? Holy cow!) |
|Schools are built to value a narrow view of academic ability, and intelligent creative people are taught within school systems to believe that they are not intelligent. |
|I am not sure what school those who say this have attended. I have never seen this and at 67 years old I have lived a very full and worldly life. This sounds like typical media fear tactics with a|
|hidden agenda to sell a product that will just simply fix all those problems. Wake up teachers you are being recruited to becoming mindless advocates, slaves, robots of companies selling snake-oil|
|to schools that can not afford them. |
|Intelligence, according to Robinson is diverse, dynamic, and distinct, and cannot be defined by the narrow view of intelligence established when school systems were created in the 19th century. |
|There needs to be a fundamental shift in the way we approach education. |
|Again if teachers open their eyes they will see this is happening. I think a lot of older educators are not aware of what young people are doing and how whatever system that Robinson and his mates|
|are yelling about has already passed by. |
| |
|Just imagine if Adobe convinces the world's teacher that to have a creative classroom the students should be a creative cloud member. When the kids leave school they have been brainwashed into |
|using CC paying $50 - $100/month subscription to prove they are creative. Now is the time to invest in Adobe - shares are going up. Just think of hundred of millions of ex-students believing they |
|need to have a CC subscription in order to succeed. How much is that per month? If I wanted to be creative I could use my calculator and discover the billions of dollars in subscriptions per month|
|being made. Be a creative teacher and buy Adobe shares. Last May (2014) Adobe shares were less that $.60 USD now they are in the mid 70s USD. A nice hike. Pre-CC? In 2012 Adobe shares were 28 |
|cents USD. No one can say Adobe does not know how to be creative. No one can say that Adobe is not invested in education. Calling my broker tonight - think I found my retirement fund. |

Which of these tools and tips are you already applying to your eLearning?
Keeping the information in a place that is easy to access or link back to; in a shared drive as well as a shared Google Documentary.
Demonstrating the end result of what the little chunks of information within the course are part of.
In an e-Learning environment it is important to have accessible helpers whether other students or knowing when the facilitator is available for assistance.
• Which of these tools and tips do you find to be the most useful? Why?
Having access via social media and other forms such as Skype so someone is available when needed. With participants in different time zones and working different shifts having someone else available at the same time is useful.
Linking relevance to why it is important to learn a new tool that could cut into time needed for other things is the most useful tip.
Do you have any experience with flipped classrooms? If so, how did you use them? If not, what questions do you have for your fellow course members?
Teaching film has been best as a flipped classroom with providing steps of what our project is such as filming someone walking through a door showing 3 or 4 emotions (they won the lottery, they were jilted by a lover, their cat got run over, they got free tickets to see a favourite performer and etc.) and filming, getting sound tracks to express the story (10 - 20 seconds) and a script ('oh no', 'sweet', 'wow' and etc.) plus storyboarding the actions is ideally done off campus using a smart phone or camera.

Have you used Premiere Elements for eLearning at all? If so, how did you use it? If not, how do you think you or the educators you work with could use Premiere Elements to enhance instruction?
I have only used Premiere Pro for myself and for class I have taught using PowerDirector which is similar (cheaper and easier to use with more effects than Elements). I think after teaching PowerDirector it would be easy to teach it.

Sir Ken Robinson
• creativity is a process of having original ideas that have value.
• A big part of being creative is looking for new ways of doing things within whatever activity you're involved in.
• A creative process may begin with a flash of a new idea or with a hunch. It may just start as noodling around with a problem, getting some fresh ideas along the way. It's a process, not a single event, and genuine creative processes involve critical thinking as well as imaginative insights and fresh ideas.
• But creativity isn't just about coming up with new ideas; some ideas might be completely crazy and impractical. So an essential bit of every creative process is evaluation
• creativity is a disciplined process that requires skill, knowledge, and control.
• Most original thinking comes through collaboration and through the stimulation of other people's ideas.
• Some basic skills can free up the way people approach problems—skills of divergent thinking, for example, which encourage creativity through the use of analogies, metaphors, and visual thinking.
•
• How do you think technology has transformed education?
The connectivity via technology for all surely has increased the ability to choose what is being learned. With so much always available it will be a skill for students to learn how to discriminate between wasting time and acquiring the knowledge they need.
• Why do you think school systems are often slow to meaningfully integrate technology?
The straight forward answer is money. I work in schools that are lucky to have enough money to pay for the student's lunch programs with more than half of our students being on welfare. Schools I teach in (I am a relief teacher this year after decades of full-time teaching at university and every grade K – 12 in several countries) here have computers that are a decade old surely not powerful enough to run any Adobe product and zero budget for technology. I had the same problem as director of technology in both private and public schools in New York and in China. It is always about money. Schools can not keep up with the demands of software companies and the need to upgrade their equipment to run the latest offerings from software company. As the one who over saw the budget I could not justify putting out money for the latest creative offering when we needed to upgrade our Internet service for example.
• How do you think technology will transform education within the next fifty years?
Of course this is an unanswerable question. Technology has the ability to destroy society due to costs, mismanagement, viruses, or technology could be the way Ray Kurzweil envisions it with his singularity AI concept. He sees humans and machines becoming basically united within 30 years (and lately he is saying 'We could get to the singularity in ten years'. His 'hybrid thinking'. Reading his latest book “How to create a mind' takes a lot of this transformation to a new realm.
• Which of the tools, tips, and strategies do you currently use in your professional development practice?
I use the Direct Instruction, Guided Practice, Independent Practice method as described in this video for classes and for professional development.
• Which of the tools, tips, and strategies are you most likely to apply to your professional development practice?
I favour the guided practice portion of the learning steps as it gives availability for assistance during the learning process. Often someone will have pressed the wrong key and everything will be different than expected. It is from taking so many miss-adventures myself and trying so many paths and also from witnessing others getting into complications that learning evolves.
• Reflect on your experience as a learner in an online course or workshop. What opportunities were provided for direct instruction, guided practice, and independent practice? Which of these were most effective? Why?
I have done a few online courses and degrees. Living in Australia which is known for distant education I did a BA (journalism) with Deakin University in Melbourne when I was living in country South Australia as a single parent and unable to attend classes; I then did an Honours (Children's literature); both of which pre-dated online teaching (1991 – 1995); I did my Masters (on Information Technology) on line 1996 – 1998 and my Ph.D. (University of South Australia) corresponding often with my supervisor as I lived between New York and South Australia and my supervisor was between Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa. It took seven years but I finished. Five years ago I did a teaching degree through Charles Darwin University (Darwin, Northern Territory) whilst living between New York City and Adelaide South Australia. In other words my education for more than 16 years was distant learning which grew into on line learning.
I taught on-line courses at the University of South Australia whilst doing my Ph.D. in 1998 – 2000 as one of the first course to be taught totally on-line. We taught courses to New Zealand using MUDs and other chatrooms.
Of course with Adobe I am continuing taking on-line courses as I am a learner for life and at age 67 see no end to learning and teaching whatever the format.
For my university degrees I had direct instruction via web conferencing such as Skype and email and Dropbox and all the other methods. This has been successful as I was often in an opposite time zone as my instructors. I prefer on-line learning as I work best in isolation. I totally failed in the classroom when young and left school in tenth grade age 16 and went to San Francisco to live in a commune. All the years since (since 1963) I have been learning pretty much on my own. I have also been teaching for the past 15 years too from universities in New York and Adelaide to private and public schools in New York, China and Australia. I love learning.
My Ph.D. theses was on on-line learning and communication; “Conversational Analysis of Chat Room Talk” on-line, of course, at
• How do you include opportunities for direct instruction, guided practice, and independent practice in your online professional development? What tools do you use? If this is your first time designing an online workshop, how might you include each?
Using the online networks available such as Skype, all the social services such as Twitter, Facebook, Google Docs and etc. I find direct instruction can be negotiated between participants for the time that suits all.
1 Gamification 101: Building Fun and Play into your eLearning Courses
For a deeper dive into gamification, and to see gamification with Adobe Captivate, watch Dr. Allen Patridge’s on-demand seminar: Gamification 101: Building Fun and Play into your eLearning Courses.
• Gamification in Education -
• Best Practices: Gamify Your Class with Moodle -
•
•
• language learning
• What is your experience with gamification? Have you used it in your professional practice?
• I started with Second Life in 2003 and used it in a private school I taught at in New York City for two years. (Second Life is an online virtual world, developed by San Francisco-based Linden Lab and launched on June 23, 2003; and which in 2014 had about 1 million regular users, according to Linden Lab, who owns Second Life.) I went to Sydney Australia to meet the producer of Skoolaborate and set up a branch at our school in New York City. From my notes on this I made a web page in 2007 but as I moved to China soon after I no longer worked on this.
• If so, how did you use it? If not, how would you like to apply it?
See above
• What’s your favorite gamification resource? Why?
Second Life – the building of an on line world is great.
• What other gamification topics would you like to explore?
At what level is gamification too much? The past three-years, teaching in China, I had a lot of students (mainly Korean) who would fall asleep in class because they had stayed up all night playing games which totally screwed their day time learning.

From Centrelink Financial Advisor December 10, 2014
1. Terrell can earn $250 per fortnight not counting towards pension
2. Narda's income counts completely
3. The reason we are not getting full pension is that our assets are at around $400,000, max assets (before it starts to affect the pension) is $289,000
4. If Terrell is knocked off the pension because of my income next year, he can apply for a Commonwealth Seniors card which makes him eligible for pharmaceutical benefits as before. My Our combined income cannot be over $84,000, but financial year can still be used for this, se he should still be able to get this card.
5. Other discounts (Emergency Services, Council rates, are not available , it is just the pills.
6. 6 months overseas is OK, need 2 years of residency before the pension is effected.
7. After 6 months, the pension is reduced according to the period of working life. From age 16-65. 35 years is maximum, and the pension does not reduce. If our working life was 20 years, then we will receive a reduced pension after 6 months. If it was only 10 years we receive no pension after 6 months. The other thing is, when you spend too much time...say years, then you are no longer considered a resident, and pension will stop.
8. Your pension is stopped completely for the time you are away if you go overseas during that first 2 years.
9. Super....an income stream is not taxable. Super SA is a taxable type, but most others are not.
10.
11. We can draw from super at 60.

Photoshop Tips top
Remove Power Lines - pick a brush size only slightly larger than the width of the cable. Sample (with alt key) right next to one end of the cable, now click on the end of the cable itself, press shift and click at the other end of the cable. The entire cable is now replaced by the pixels adjacent to it along its entire length. Works best if the cable is in a straight line. you will have to do this in segments if it is sagging or bowed as it generally is. This is especially great for removing scratches from scanned prints or slides.

Astrology one year from today March 16 2015 January – June Publishing BK 1-3 started dividing Leaving into two books – june 7 – 12 when home from pacemaker
Publishing BK 2-3 March 2016 Progressed Mercury to Natal Jupiter
When your progressed Mercury is conjunct your natal Jupiter, you can make plans to take your dreams from imaginary to reality. If you’ve been stuck, wondering what to do to pursue what you really want, you can figure a way out now and get yourself going down a path to succeed.
March 2016 Transit Saturn trine Sun
In Cambodia/Thailand January 2016 Progressed Moon trine Venus If your feelings tell you you want it, now's probably the time to go out and get it. The more emotionally satisfying it seems, the greater the reward in the end. Sometimes you jump for situations and then change your mind later, but right now your judgment is steady and rewards sought now will age well and give dividends.
Wrote heaps - April 2016 Progressed Moon trine Saturn If you react like an authority, chances are people will take you for one -- especially if you show (ho-hum) not much reaction at all. Clearly you must have been there, done that. Just remember that when you do volunteer an opinion, you can't take it back, so when you take a step be sure of foot.
April 2016 Progressed Moon trine Pluto Taking firm but non-confrontational stands on how you feel about issues will not only give you the upper hand but create a following. Quiet faith in your position says more than a thousand verbal arguments, so simply proceed like you know you're in the right and your stream will become the mainstream.
Financial opportunities are there for the finding and the taking now, particularly where real estate is concerned (but also in other areas connected with home and domestic items). Finding out what people want and need, and then making sure you get a piece of the action in giving it to them, is the key to success now. A good time to investigate ways to improve health and diet.
About August 2016 Progressed Moon trine Moon First feelings will probably be the ones to count on for a while, as although exterior settings may have changed, you can read what's going on inside well enough to rely on your instincts, so you probably won't have to second guess yourself or others. Play it like you feel it, spend extra energy elsewhere.

epub top
"You can use MS Word to create a simply formatted ebook (either EPUB or Kindle) but you have to be careful to do it just the right way—that’s why I still plan to write a book on just how to do that. For example, if you generate a table of contents with Word for Windows, and then use Amazon’s own KDP to create the Kindle version, your book will have a TOC. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work if you create the TOC in Word for Mac. There are a lot of little details like that. The capability is (mostly) there, but it’s not always obvious.
And you can use the HTML that Word generates to create an EPUB file—but you have to write the XML files yourself or use Sigil or some other concoction of half-baked tools. InDesign of course, does all that for you, with code that’s well formed, flexible and not hard to edit.
But it’s still true that Word is the program that’s already on most writer’s computers, and with which most writers feel pretty comfortable. InDesign costs a lot more, and feels harder to use, at least for the beginner. If someone has both programs, I would recommend using InDesign every time. If they don’t, Word can be a low-cost, last resort.”
Liz has written important books on producing ePubs, for example: _1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414238761&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=epub+liz+castro
2 The Three Step Solution
Here's a three-step process that you can use to scrub your stories clean in InDesign:
1. First, make character styles to match the styles you want to keep. For example, if the author used italic throughout, you'll need a character style which applies italic to text. If they used bold (and it needs to stay bold), then you'll need a bold character style:
2. Next, use Find/Change to find all the text that looks italic, and apply the italic character style. It's easy to do this by leaving the "find what" and "change to" areas blank, then clicking the large blank areas at the bottom of the dialog box:
[pic]
3. Finally, select all the text in the story (Cmd/Ctrl-A) and click the Clear Overrides button at the bottom of the Paragraph Styles panel. Most users don't even know this button exists, but it's awesome. It removes all the local formatting, but leaves the character styles.
[pic]
The result: All the overrides you didn't want are gone, and all the overrides you did want (italic, bold, etc.) remains!
3 Automating Cleanup
Obviously, if you had to do this to 50 stories a day, you'd get tired of the three-step process pretty fast. Fortunately, there are some ways to automate it. For example, my Blatner Tools suite of plug-ins from dtptools includes two features that are pretty nifty (if I do say so myself). First, there is a way to automatically create and apply the basic character styles for you. In other words, with one click, it will create italic, bold, and bold-italic styles, then do the find/change to apply them throughout your whole document:
[pic]
Second, there's a Clear Local Overrides dialog box that shows you what formatting has been applied over and above the paragraph styles and lets you strip it away with a single click. (You could actually use this one dialog box to clean up everything and get exactly what you want, even without creating character styles, but I still think it's better to use character styles, because in the long run it's more efficient and helpful.)
[pic]
Many people told me that they wanted these features without having to buy all of Blatner Tools, so we released it as a separate package called Power Styles. [Note that both these tools are 30% off until Feb 15 this month! See comments below for discount code.]
There are many other clean-up tools available, some commercial, and some free. For example, TextSoap is a really cool Mac-only application that cleans up common text problems (double-hyphens, removing angle brackets from emails people send you, that kind of thing).
how to link words from index back to its content. For example if I have indexed the word book and there are 12 pages in my index following the word book can they be hyperlinked back for epub?
