Final Project; Video Instructions via Wiki from School website

The journey is coming to an end. This by far has been one of the most difficult and frustrating projects I have ever done. I was originally going to do a podcast of exercises that we do in my class for circuit training and put on iTunes so the my students could obtain them along with a sub. After downloading numerous converters and paying $30 to upgrade my Quicktime player I had to look at plan B. Every time that I thought that I was making progress, something else wouldn't work. I tried to upload my video to teachertube.com, but it kept saying that I was getting a Generic upload failure. I felt like a failure. Then another idea came to my head. I decided to create a wiki page that was linked to my portion of our school's web page. I was going to put the video on there so that it was accessible. So that was exactly what I did. I created a wiki page linked to my school web page which contains my video on circuit training exercises. Here are the following items and websites that I used.

-Sony digital camera to take the pictures for the video
-Photo Story 3 to create my story which included dialogue and music
-www.looperman.com for the music heard on the video
-www.netministry.com to edit my school web page from home
-www.lists.svdpomaha.org to create my Wiki page

I have included a tutorial as well to show how to access the video. This is something that I could show my students or pass out to my students to use. I could also give this to a sub. The sub will have access to a computer and will be able to do this. I feel that it's easy to follow and the students should be able to do this. I suggest that you all try as well so you can watch my video. I apologize that I don't have the greatest microphone. I used one that was attached to a headset and the mouth piece was a little close to my face. I thank every for their help and feedback in this class. I have learned a lot from all of you as I hope you have with me. Please take a look and tell me your thoughts. Have a good 4th of July and Summer!
