Task Appropriate Tools in Problem-Solving

Use task-appropriate tools to synthesize knowledge, create and modify solutions, and evaluate results in a way that supports the work of individuals and groups in problem-solving situations.

I have done group work in the Foundation , Multimedia , Video Technology , and the Extended Desktop Publishing Courses as well as individual work in all of the courses. Throughout the Technology Application courses I have gained skills that help me create and modify products, find problems and find solutions to fix the problems, evaluate my products and the products of others in a way that supports individuals and groups. The new skills I have learned plus the ones I have fine tuned will help me teach my students ways to work in a group environment as well as how to support the work of groups and individuals in problem solving situations.

Artifact #12

Descriptors: Individual report, Internet Search, Software Review, Discussion, Desktop Publishing, Sound Editing

Title: Discussion 1: Sound Editing Software

Course: 103-A Multimedia: Module 4-Project Integration

Date Created: March 4, 2003

Source: Class discussion, Individual report

Media: Internet, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat 5.0, Cool Edit 2000

Description: This discussion had two parts. In the first part of the discussion we were to review a sound editing piece of software to use to edit sound files and share the review and evaluation of the software with our classmates. Then we were to review our classmates summaries of their sound editing software and respond to their postings.   In the second part we were to use the software we reviewed to edit two sounds files together into one sound file.

In part one we had to choose a sound editing piece of software from the 103 Software review sight by signing up by the software we choose to review.  Only four people could review a single piece of software.  The report was to be based on the following criteria:
bulletName of the software
bulletApproximate price
bulletLocation or web site to see the software
bulletBrief review on that software
bulletEase of use
bulletFeasibility
bulletFeatures of the software
bulletEditing capabilities
bulletFile inputs available
bulletFile outputs available
bulletOpinion on the software Likes/dislikes

Part two requirements were:
bulletChoose two sound files
bulletTheme to a movie or a TV show
bulletAdditional sound either from the show or a self-created sound
bulletEdit sounds in a way that you may incorporate them into one sound file for your Movie Integration project
bulletAdd any effect you like or simply combine the two sounds
bulletCompose a discussion on how you achieved your sound
bulletDescribe the sounds and your anticipated uses
bulletAttach the sound to your discussion
bulletPost response to "Manipulation" area
bulletRespond to peers on their edited sound

To create the report I first had to find the web site for Cool Edit 2000, find reviews of the software, and find the other information required in part one of the discussion.  I then downloaded a trial copy of the software to use.  After experimenting with the software and using it to create my sound file in part two, I gave my opinion of the software in my report. In part two I went to the Internet to find sound files for my TV series "Stargate SG-1" that I had chosen to create my multimedia Movie Integration project on.  I selected the songs that are played at the beginning and of the show and some wav files of the actors speaking to merge together into one file.  I used Cool Edit 2000 to edit the sound files and create the single file required.  I then reviewed the reports on other sound editing software that my classmates described, commented on some, and listened to the sound files they had created. I posted my report in a variety of formats, rtf, pdf, doc,

Rationale:    By reviewing, evaluating, and demonstrating the outcome of combining two or more sound files, and sharing this information with my classmates, this artifact demonstrates the use of task-appropriate tools to synthesize knowledge, create and modify solutions, and evaluate results in a way that supports the work of individuals and groups in problem-solving situations.

Implications for future: This type of project could be used to by the students to demonstrate their sound editing skills as well as their understanding of how to share solutions learned, and evaluate products.  This could be used as an individual project or as a group project with my classes.

Reviewers Comments: Your sound file is super!  Where did you find the Stargate theme song and cast talking? (My husband is a fan)  I think I am going to look into Cool Edit a little more, I have the demo, and need software that is relatively easy to use by covers many editing options.  Great job on your review too!!
