Video

I hope this counts as a video.....?? I had a nosy at a few others before embarking on this task, and was petrified at the thought of  speaking into the camera, and also I have never made a video of anything before in my life!!

So, that said, here is my first attempt at making a clip!! Video Clip

Please be kind guys, but would love any help or constructive criticism you want to throw my way?! Also, I struggled to get music behind it! I did it on windows movie maker, and when I clicked add music, it brought up my itunes but wouldnt let me add! does anyone know of any other way to add music to it?

Thanks in advance :-)

Photo's

So, I've battling for a good 3 hours now with these photo's. What I managed to do quite easily was set up both a flickr  account and a photobucket account. However, what I really wanted to do was upload a slideshow as a gadget at the side of my blogs-this I struggled with!!
Therefore, I've had to settle with a few still pictures on my profile, and a link to an album on Photobucket!

Hope you enjoy :-)

p.s if anyone can shed any light as to how I make a slideshow from either of the accounts mentioned above, please can you let me know how?  I've tried using the slideshow gadget and my username, but that doesnt seem to bring anything up?

Task 1b

I touched on this subject as a normal post, but seeing how others have made it into a document to link to, I thought I would expand slightly with my opinions.

Personal Profile- Take 2

I really appreciated the comments on this piece, and took them on board. Sarah, I dont know how I missed my spelling mistake as spell checker was on, so as soon as it went on to google docs, it was all red, highlighting for me to mend! and i kept the "all of these experiences in" but took what you said on board, and adapted the sentance before to explain a little as to what they were!

I looked at Liams comments and used his "What I realized" idea which I feel summarizes the whole piece and leads people on to the next chapter of my life (BAPP) smoothly.

So, thanks so much for your kind comments, here my next and hopefully complete draft!

CV -Take 2

Ok, so after taking some comments on board, I've tried to re work this. Ive added in a little profile where I summarize some of my personal attributes. I added a summary of my education and training to include my GCSE's (although I didn't give details on what grades I got for what subject-does anyone think this matters?) I then also dropped 'Choreographers worked with' on Aicha's advise.

Did anyone else struggle to fit everything they wanted to point out onto one page? Do we think its important to try and fit it all on one, or is it ok to spread neatly over 2, and get all previous work in there?

Here's the link, again, thanks for your thoughts and comments in advance!

Apologies....!

Hi everyone!!
As much as I have been keeping on top of what everyone has been writing on their blogs thanks to GoogleReader, I can only apologize for my lack of commenting! I cant really make excuses as I'm sure the majority of students here have full time jobs, I'm just finding it hard to juggle my full time job, with my voluntary teaching and getting stuck into this!!!

Ive given myself a full day to today and Monday to catch up on all work as well as commenting and getting in touch with you all! So, apologies if you all end up with millions of comments over different blogs! I'm experimenting with different ways to keep on top of things.

Are people finding it easier doing smaller bits daily (or as often as possible?)  for example, commenting on colleagues blogs? Or are some people doing it this way of leaving yourselves full days to focus on it all?

I am hoping that it will be something I settle into, and get into a routine of doing!
