Obviously I haven’t posted — been trying software tricks at night from seminars I’ve been in each day. Fought with Windows Moviemaker last night for a long while wishing it worked like garageband. Went to another eminar today and saw more tricks from garageband — I’m amazed and really wishing Windows had something remotely similar. I’m about to sit through a Fundamentals of Moviemaker seminar — a change from my original plan — just because I finally figured it can’t be that bad. I must be the one who is unable to teach myself. I know Moviemaker doesn’t do nearly what the Mac does (whether it be garageband or imovie or what . . . ), but it must be a little better than what I’ve taught myself. So, I’m going to sit through this seminar and try to learn what they teach. The instructor was here when I came in and asked me why I attended. I mentioned wanting to get kids podcasting and wished we had something like garageband. He didn’t say (as I’d hoped), “you can do more with Moviemaker than you realize.”  What he said was, “I can tell you about a product called JOURNALIST IN A BOX that lets a Windows guy do just about the same thing as the Mac guys. I’m not to encouraged. I was hoping with Moviemaker we could get remotely close — since I don’t want to have to buy more software (with budget constraints, plus all of the district bells and whistles needed to get software for the school) but use what we already have!
