My Story

This week we had to turn in several projects. The one project that I just finished working on was my digital story telling project. With this, we had to create a story about ourselves using Photo Story 3.0. I did my story on my experience at the Brette Hawke Auburn Swim Camp that I worked at this summer down in Alabama. I put in a lot of pictures representing my time and experience there. I also included pictures with some famous athletes and coaches I was able to have the opportunity to work with. They have such a fantastic facility down there and I was able to learn so much about the world of swimming and much much more!!! I hope I will have the opportunity of going back someday.

Week 8-9

Dr. Hossain has left, so the class is pretty much on our own pace for the rest of the semester. My group has been working hard on our projects and we have accomplished so much. I am still in the process of finishing up my presentation plan to submit within the next few days. I am also in the middle of working on my digital story telling project. Some of the projects are a little overwhelming since we don't have teacher supervision anymore but I feel confident in my abilities to complete all of the tasks at hand. Here is the newsletter we just finished.

Week 7

We have had a lot of assignments lately in our EDTF class. We have created several documents for our team "Youth Sports Across America." We have created a team booklet that lists all the information about our team as well as a short bio about each of our group members.

I have learned so much thus far in this class. I have learned how to create my own website, work in publisher and microsoft excel and word. I have also learned how to use other programs such as google docs and Inspiration software. The technology we have today is truly amazing and I know that taking this class will really help me in the future.

On a different note, I will be attending a sports management conference on friday at Robert Morris University. This will be a great opportunity to meet lots of representatives from several different organizations and I could even have the opportunity to get an internship!

This weekend will also be the first meet of our swim season. It is an intersquad meet (Crimson vs. White). Our team always has a lot of fun with this every year by having different themes and lots of fun costumes.
