Welcome to Video Day!  Hopefully the connection will be fast enough to let you sample from the amazing buffet of video content out there.
Video Skills Training Guide.
There are also guides supplemental guides:  Video Download Guide   YouTube Publishing Guide
Aside from that, please continue to work on Week#2 tasks. Copied below (same as Day 6)

Notes
- As some of you may have discovered, it's impossible to install PhotoStory unless you have legally registered installation of Windows. As such, it may not have worked on some of your computers.  I haven't found a good substitute yet, but will keep looking.  In the meantime, don't worry about the digital storytelling optional assignment.
: I will need to leave around 11:30am today (I'll be taping a weekly radio show I do here), but will check in again later tonight to see if there are any questions.

Week#2 Assignments  these are assignments for the whole week, not just today - please don't worry :)

• Complete the  Week#2 Questionnaire

• Continue Exploring  the CALL Buffet and adding bookmarks to your Delicious account. 
  By the end of this week you should have at least 30 websites bookmarked and properly tagged  in your Delicious account.  Feel free to share information with your classmates as you make interesting discoveries. (I'm especially impressed when I see someone has added a few bookmarks each day as opposed to adding all 30 in a day or two - looks more like the student used the tool as intended and bookmarked sites as he/she discovered them as opposed to thinking, "OK, I want to finish the Delicious assignment - I'll bookmark 30 sites now and be done with it". )

• This week's readings: Updated
  You will need to find two one more reading that are about a topic (or topics) in which you are especially interested.  Originally, there was going to be two more reading reviews required during Week#2, but I've changed that only one more, so that if you prefer to spend time on other assignments, you can. If you want to do two (or more) additional reading reviews, that's great. Follow your learning passions.
  To find the readings, you will need to look at the EFL537 Reading List, the LearningCall.net Readings Index, or the Custom Search of CALL related journals.
   Before writing your Reading Reviews, please  let me know which readings you plan to review by posting a brief description and the website address (URL) of the article here: http://www.efl537.com/forum/week2-readings-topics
   Reading Review#3 is due July 28. 
  
  
• Continue writing daily reflections on your Posterous.com blog.
  By the end of the course, you should have at least 8 reflections.  Feel free to post additional reflections and other material there, but only 8 reflections are required. 

• Final Report/Presentation - This is a summary of what you spent most of Week#2 focusing on. It can be a written report, slide presentation, and/or audio recording discussing the area of CALL you focused on during Week#2.  Include links to any relevant  readings, resources, or websites. Please focus on one or more of these questions:
  
  • Which aspects of CALL are you most likely to use in your current (or near future) teaching environment? Tell me some specifics about how you will implement it. 
  • Which CALL skills/tools are you most interested in learning more about after this course? How can you do so? 
  • What are the biggest obstacles you face in actually making use of CALL tools?  How can you (and the entire educational system) overcome these obstacles?
  There is no fixed length requirement, but if you submit a basic written report, I suggest keeping it between 600~1000 words. The size of other types of submissions (slideshow, audio, video) is up to you - however much you need to say what you want to say.
  Due August 2. 
  
• Week#2  Skills  
  All Week#2 Technical Skills are OPTIONAL !  Each day will will focus on particular skill.  If you  prefer to focus on other skills or Week#2 tasks, please feel free to do so.  These guides are here so that you can learn about these skills if you wish, but if you are not interested in a particular skill or you find it very difficult or stressful, I don't want you to waste your time and energy on it.  I'd much rather you focus on further developing skills you've already learned or focusing on other Week#2 assignments that are more meaningful to you. You can see a list of all skills guides here.
