For this assignment I choose to use Windows Messenger to participate in video chat. It is something I already use a lot in order to communicate with my family members. I love chatting with people especially when I can see them. It makes me feel like I am closer to them and it is much easier to talk to someone face to face than to type something to them and to try to communicate that way. One thing I did not like about the video was how it would sometimes get choppy and it would be hard to hear or see something for a second. It is not perfect. This type of communication would be very useful in classrooms. You could use video to have a special guest talk to the class or even to communicate with your class when you are out of town. It would also be great for video conferences with parents if absolutely necessary and there was no other alternative. On a different note, I am thrilled that I have finished my movie. It took a lot of time and a lot of work but it was worth it. I learned a lot of things in the process. One thing I learned was how necessary it is to plan out your movie. I was not as specific as I should have been in my plan. I underestimated how long each segment would be in my video. Because of this, a major chunk of my video was not even filmed because I did not have time for it. I am happy with how it turned out though.
