Road+Blocks


 * Being aware of some of the pit falls I experienced ahead of time may help you avoid them yourself.**

The project took about twice as long as I had anticipated.
 * Plan on the project taking 10 days, if it doesn't you can move on sooner, but if you don't book enough computer time you could find yourself in danger. (**I did this entirely in class, students could be asked to find images at home if you have a way from them to reliably transport the files to school.)

Booking lab time became a problem as I realized only one lab in the school had the software loaded.
 * The software is a free download, but will only work on Microsoft XP or newer. Be sure the program is installed anywhere you may need to use it. (When I started to grade I realized it wasn't on my computer.)

Enabling students to "hand-in" projects that could be viewed became a technological difficulty.
 * Talk to someone about the submission options available to you at your school and chose what works best for you. I had the students save their as .mov files. This became a problem when I tried to load them to my wiki (using my mac), they had to be converted to .mp4 files.
