Google Certified Teacher Application

[Darcie Priester]

Hi! I'm applying to be a Google Certified Teacher. I had seen some posting on here last year where other Google Certified Teachers gave comments on applicants' videos. I would love some feedback! Here's the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMFSBsfCEQc

I had problems in one area where the volume goes down and I know it has something to do with the transition that is right after it. I deleted this section and put it in again, but am still having problems. I created this in imovie '08, if anyone has any suggestions. We I go into the link in youtube it also seems to be playing very slow-hope it's just my connection speed and not another problem.

Any feedback would be great! Thanks!

WOW! I love how you used your kids in the movie. The only thing I can suggest about the sound (I think you can do this in iMovie '08) is in the sound bar at the bottom, you can adjust the volume with a little line. If you drag the line up, it will increase the volume. Good luck with your application!

Thanks Alice! I appreciate the feedback. I will try adjusting the volume! Thanks again!

I think that this looks great also. I like the personal story. It seems like I know you and understand why you want to go.

Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!

I decided not to apply this time, but next time I am going to plan to get my video done early enough to be viewed, critiqued and edited. Last time people saw some things that now I realize I should have edited, but I just didn't have time.

Thanks for the help. I didn't get accepted for the DC session. Maybe next time!

[Janice Friesen]

Maybe we will meet there sometime! The DC one was too soon and not a good time for me... So we will both keep trying!
