Poor Man's TW! Anyone interested?

[sarahjean]

Annisis,

That sounds great! For geography, I think it makes the most sense to do just the locations.
For art, I think it will be very difficult to choose 10, but that seems reasonable.
As for the phonics families, that was EXACTLY my plan!!

I didn't choose my History or World Religion sections. I will take:

History: Greek Gods
World Religion: Baha'i

[annisis]

I got to thinking.... for Geography, should I finish the rest of the States of the US first?

[sarahjean]

That would probably be a good idea, Annisis!

[sarahjean]

Still waiting for everyone to sigh up for their topics...

[Ann2010]

Unfortunately,  I don't think I will be able to help at this time.

Sorry

[sarahjean]

Okay, Anne Thanks for letting me know!

If it helps, I don't think we'll expect the first video until the end of March. Let me know if you change your mind!

I'm glad to have you involved!

I am interested...I do not know if I have time to do it though...I would like to try... let me know what I can do... Are you going to be posting the videos as well?

[sarahjean]

Christine,

I imagine we would post them...

If you'd like to join, choose your topics - we would love to have you! We won't expect our first finished videos until end of March

[Blooming_Brilliant]

Okay, Sorry so excited... 
I am def. on board to help.
My question is how do we make this? Is it made by using powerpoint slide shows and then put into video format? If so I have many slide shows that can help. I have musical instruments according to type ie. percussion, string, woodwinds...ect. I have made slide shows of shapes, the seven continents, the US 50 states and captials, the US presidents. So maybe with the already made slide shows it can speed but the process a little.
I was also thinking, that at some point it would be really great for us to make foreign language parts...like the video had spanish...we can add other languages ones each of us speak or know, it would really help those of us that want to teach our children multiple languages but can not afford all these expensive programs. I speak english, and a little very little spanish and italian enough to contribute to spanish and italian if you want to do that eventually.

As of now My topics I choose is:
Culture – United States  (how many are we putting on? should I do them all and then whoever is putting the whole thing together take out what they want?) I will def. do the sates, their flag, their capital if you want? I can also do the state bird (if that is of interest to anyone  ), National landmarks. 


Music – Musical instruments (different set from what was shown in Annisis' video), rhythm (ta, ta, teetee, ta), Composer portraits (Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bizet)

I can do this but I do not know how to do the rhythm...so if anyone can help or do that part.

[sarahjean]

Absolutely, Christine!

If you read through the rest of the tread, you will see what categories we plan to cover, as well as what topics have already been taken.

You can grab the list of categories and go through what you already have and fill in your topics that way to make it easier (exactly what I did!).

As for how we will do it, my plan was to use MovieMaker (a windows program) but I will figure out the equivalent for the Mac users...it's really as simple as putting your images/video on one track and your audio track on another.

I look forward to seeing what you would like to cover!

Glad to have you!

[Blooming_Brilliant]

Okay, so I read through the complete tread, that is why i modified my post and it was a little crazy , I just got really excited   
I love teaching my daughter and she loves learning and anything I can do to teach her I get super excited. 
I have windows live movie maker although I have never used it like that...I never knew how exactly...I know you can not transport a power point to it though. However, I think I will be able to use movie maker with no problem... I did, when my daughter was born have a program called scate but it did not work well, I was never able to publish the video and you had to pay for it.  Anyway, I will be looking forward to a tutorial so I know exactly what I am doing.

So again I will try to cover as much as I can in  US culture and it wasn't listed but I will put the next presidents in. The music except for the rhythm because I am not sure how to do that.

Glad to be here and help. I did look at TW and it is to expensive for me so this is great!

Hi sarahjean ,

Can you please let me know how to make these video's ?
I dont have any extra software in my computer.

I am a non native english speaker .

Please share the tutorial.

Thanks

[Blooming_Brilliant]

Okay, so I looked at Windows Movie Maker on my computer and I can see how you can edit videos...I have even done that before. I can see how you can make a slide show of pictures. I do not see how you can make a video like the original video that was posted. I even looked up information on how to use the program on microsoft.com...all they show is how to make a slideshow of pictures really, not much else. I do not know how to use this program at the moment so can someone please help those of us that do not know. I was really excitied but now I am confused and feeling a little bit defeated already . So please share how to use the program so I can try to get started. 

Thanks
