I went through the shared file on Google docs yesterday and visited all the blogs that were listed so far. I figured it would be much eaiser to follow the blogs and have the updated blogs come up on my dashboard rather than having to go to everyone's blog individually to see if anything new has been added. I found that I was not giving the option to follow some peoples blogs, so I'm not sure if that was an intentional move on the bloggers part of if it was due to the layout that was chosen.
I also viewed the video of those who either had them embedded into their blog or a link attached. Everyone has been doing a great job and it is nice to be able to put a face to the names and to get to know people a little better.
I hope everyone is having luck with their photostories and other assignments. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to ask.

Who are you???
My who are you video can be found below, but if it happens not to work, it is also on YouTube.com titled "6305 Who are you," or by clicking on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpjJEsWu-LQ
I have made videos such as this before, but never using PhotoStory. In high school I made the video for the band's senior class. I've also used Roxio Easy Media Creator to make videos for my husband while he is out of the country. One of the videos can be found on YouTube as well. I found that PhotoStory was quite easy to use, much easier than the other prorams I have used. However, it does not allow the extent of customization that I found with Roxio. I have never added my own narration to a video before so that was something different. It was no doubt strange hearing my own voice recorded to a video.
I hope that you enjoy the videos!

Introductions
Hi everyone! My name is Megan Pintus and this is my blog for EDUC 6305. I graduated from WVU in 2007 with a bachelors degree in Marketing and am now in my second semester of the MAT program. I am specializing in Business Education and want to teach business courses at the high school level. In high school, I had one teacher encouraging me to go into education and another encouraging me to go into business. I guess now I'm just combining those two and finally figuring out what I really want to do for the rest of my life.
Outside of school, I work full time as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. The experience I am receiving there is amazing. I have constant interaction with the clients as well as fellow employees. I have grown both professionally and personally since being in this position and I hope that I will be able to carry some of my experiences on with me into the classroom.
I guess you could call me a newlywed, but it all depends on your opinion. I was married in early May of 2008; however, my husband left for his second deployment to Iraq on Memorial Day. He is in the infantry with the Marine Corps Reserves and will hopefully be returning home before the end of the spring semester. Outside the military, he is a sheriff deputy in Monongalia County and upon returning home will be finishing his bachelors degree in Philosophy. We recently bought a house in Fairmont and live there with our four fur children, two dogs (both of which are pure bred mutts) and two cats.
When we manage to find any free time, we enjoy camping (the real kind with a tent, no running water, a camp fire, etc), hiking, and fixing up the house. I'm not sure if fixing up the house is enjoyable, but the end result is nice and spending the time together is wonderful. When you've gone through deployments or anything similar, you learn to cherish every minute you have with the ones you love.
