Here is the lesson I did on geometric shapes. We were focusing mainly on triangle, but reviewed what we discussed in the previous lesson.
I found using my iPhone and the Vimeo iPhone app to be really difficult. Too many errors. However I had a hard time making it work any other way. This was more complicated than I expected. I recently downloaded the iOS 5 and hadn't seen any problems yet. Error after error I was able to upload the video to YouTube, but Vimeo wasn't having it. An hour and a half later, after uninstalling the Vimeo app and shutting my phone down, reinstalling the app it is apparently working. It started working, and after 2 hours was 51% uploaded - then it timed out. I started again, similar thing. at this point it was almost midnight and I work at 7:30. Today I work both jobs, so when I get home I will try again. For now I've attached it on youtube.
Speaking of, Barry, my doc put me on Nortriptyline for headaches. Over the past month I'm down to less than one headache/week. The med did not help me sleep, as my doc thought it might. Now I'm on trazodone for sleep and it's working alright. I only started over break, so I'm curious once I get back to a regular sleep schedule how it will work!
Here is the embedded video.
Sounds like a bit of frustration, but you were persistent and hung in there. Uploading large files, depending on your type of connectivity, can indeed be very time consuming. And, sometimes, when no keyboard activity is taking place during the upload, it just 'times-out.' You'll undoubtably have a need to upload large files in the future, so hang in there and figure out what works best in your situation. Vimeo is a very popular, safe site for educators to post videos, so I'm hoping you'll find it useful in the future.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for teaching us about TRIANGLES !
Re: headaches. That is wonderful news on your bodies response to Nortriptyline and trazodone. That's generally the first step that many doctors take, and it's great that you responded positively. As you know, they are addictive, so just listen to your body along those lines. Once your body gets 'retrained' to only 1 headache/week (or less), then possibly one might be able to cut back on the drugs and see if the body works like it's designed to. Best wishes.
