I have noticed a very large change in my understanding and use of technical resources and concepts we have covered in this class. This past month I have incorporated the making of a video into an assignment for my senior IT Students. This was a terrific break in the monotony of the Network+ textbook. We actually spent almost two full weeks of class/lab working on these videos. I felt very comfortable in guiding students into Photoshop to manipulate jpeg images that they had created or found for use in their videos. Same for using the Windows Moviemaker tool and the Sony Vegas 7.0 software. Within an hour I had students working furiously on editing video clips and putting still pictures they had touched up via Photoshop into their storyboard in Moviemaker. My only real drawback was tyhe contention for the equipment (vido cameras and especially the usb microphone for narrating). I will have to address the hardware issues this summer in my budget.
I have even taken a stab at putting the vdieo tapes of my basketball teams games into DVD movies to hand out to my players as keepsakes as well as putting together highlight clips to send to college coaches that contact me looking to recruit my players for college. I will probably spend my spare time now that basketball is over converting all my games from the camera tapes into a moviemaker format and adding text to them - putting them into a movie format. Beginning - movie - trailer with score and other info. I actually spent my own hard earned dollars and bought AVITools to help in the import and conversion of the movies from my Sony Handycam to the PC in a format for Moviemaker. Very worthwhile tool.
Photoshop and movie editing no longer scare me the way they did at the start of thiss class.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
