Day Four of TeachUp! Training

Training went well today, even though it started off a bit slowly.  First we learned about open source software and about a few popular kinds, like Tux Math Space Commander.  Our trainer even let us play with the programs a bit.  Then, I learned about screen capturing and how to use it in the classroom.  Then I had to get into a group and do a digital story, which is a story that uses different types of media, such as pictures and video.  The digital story that my group did was on the subject of history.  Our story was about the life and voyages of Christopher Columbus.  We then saved and uploaded the digital story to our blogger accounts.  Overall, today was exciting and I am eager to see what tomorrow will bring.
