Dr Bonk 覺得他的聲音很有磁性

昨天晚上幾乎做到半夜，終於將Blended Learning Part I 製作好了。雖然已經有經驗，我還是十分驚訝製作過程所花的時間。

1. 首先，我將兩個files合併，因為錄製的時候出了一點小問題，中間停了一次
2. 兩個files合併後大約三十分鐘，沒想到file很大，整個computer都slow down
3. 接下來一邊播放，一邊增加注釋或是剪掉一些太多餘的部分。剪掉多餘的部分的工作十分花時間，但有可能和我對Camtasia不熟悉有關，後來我儘量不剪，保持原味 :-)
4. 一邊播放的同時，我必須替同學做一個presentation outline，加上時間軸，期望能方便閱讀與提高理解
5. 以上的過程花了大約兩小時
6. 下一步，將 Camtasia 檔案 轉成 avi 檔案，我完全使用system default settings，三十分鐘的檔案，有大約150mb，花了大約九十分鐘轉檔
7. avi file 有了，接下來 upload 到 google video ，這個動作又花了約兩個小時
8. google video 花了約兩個小時處理（不太清楚處理什麼 processing 了約兩個小時）
9. 等到處理完畢，video被列入 "live" 這時就可以有url 等 information，可以讓大家知道 video 在那裡
10. email Dr. Bonk the rul

今天早上check email，收到 Dr. Bonk 的回信：

Wow oh wow…This is great Grace. You are quick. Thanks. Google video—wow—you posted it there. The animations hold! Cool. You can hear a bit of the audio—there must be a way to do that part slightly better next time. My voice actually sounds about the best I have ever heard. Almost like a broadcaster. Normally I hate my stupid Midwestern voice. Let me know when you have Part 2 up. I will forward links to both parts to Youmie, Craig, Tom, and Mimi as well as Ron Owston at York and Charles Graham at BYU. I will also post to my video links to my homepage.

The only problem is I say Plato and Socrates were in ancient Egypt. Smile. The only other problem is the fuzziness of the pics in the slides.

Again thanks for sharing! I talk slow here and still am a bit fast. Wow. Slowing down and speeding up should foster attention.

I do not see many “um’s” and words stuck in. Pretty good speaker without the ums. Still a tad fast. I could yell and scream some more to shake people up.

Dr. Bonk 很滿意，接下來就看同學們的feedback嘍！
