Connect Through Commenting – SBC Week Two

Hi y’all! Welcome back to my blog where we enter week two of the Student Blogging Challenge! This week, we drove our focus to commenting. I teamed up with my classmate, Lily, and together we created a step-by-step guide to commenting.

Lily and I are both very humorous and decided to add a twist to our guide. We decided to pull our headphones out and film our video ASMR style. We filmed the audio independently, combined our separate audios on one laptop, and then screen recorded one of us commenting for demonstration.

While creating our video, a few dilemmas popped up that resulted in us feeling completely puzzled. Our first problem was getting our audio to be in sync with our video. Independently filming our audios resulted in a very aggravating editing session. Regardless of the circumstances we were under, we managed to make it work… kinda sort of.

The next problem that popped up was the quality of the video. For some mysterious reason, the video was yellow? lol I don’t know what that’s about but I would like to clarify that it is NOT welcome here. Our final problem was that our ASMR skills were subpar and in some scenes, you could barely hear us; but that’s a conversation we’ll save for another day.

In other news, I am so excited for next week’s blogging challenge. So far, the SBC has been a blast to participate in. I cannot wait to see what the remainder of the challenge holds for me!

    1. Hi Ms. Brannen,
      Thank you so much! Being the perfectionist I am, I had to make sure that my blog was as extra as possible haha. It means so much to me that my blog inspired you. Reading comments like yours makes it all worth it at the end of the day. Again, thank you so much for stopping by! I’ll definitely make sure to get a look at your blog! Come back soon!

  2. Mariam,
    I so appreciate your willingness to share some of the problems you encountered when creating the video. It is important for bloggers to share their successes and their hurdles. This allows us to learn from each other in an authentic manner. Also, there might be others who have experienced similar issues and are willing to provide potential solutions.
    I confess that the ASMR style seems rather creepy to me, but I know that students are using it regularly and seem to appreciate the eerie quality of the voice-over. As I’ve mentioned before, your voice comes through so clearly in your writing. I truly appreicate your sense of humor and self-depracating style.
    Thanks for sharing Lily’s link making it very easy for me to head right over to her blog after visiting yours.
    Keep up the great work!

    1. Hi Mrs. Sheridan,
      Aww thank you so much! Truth be told, the ASMR is a little creepy. We were going towards satisfying, but what can ya do? I’m so glad you think my voice comes out in my writing. I try my hardest to make sure people understand who I am and what I’m like when writing. Also, I could not have pulled this off without Lily, so kudos to her too for helping me out. Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!

    1. Hey AC,
      I’m glad you think this post was quite….well…. a-a-amazing and cr-cr-creative.
      Sometimes, I wonder how I come up with this stuff too, to be honest. Regardless, thank you so much for your sweet comment. I’m still in a bit of a food coma from last night haha ;). I will definitely check out your blog! Love you lots!

  3. Hello Miriam,
    Well, you and Lily put me to shame. Your willingness to try new things and share your experience is inspiring. I wish your efforts could rub off on my students. They are just getting started and are very hesitant to experiment. This is the link to our class blog, you can see some of their attempts, http://mrsldewar.edublogs.org/
    It appears that you are enjoying the Student Blogging Challenge. Good Luck with week three.

    1. Hi Mrs. Dewar!
      Aww, haha thank you so much for your kind words. You seem like the coolest teacher ever. I had a smile plastered across my face the entire time I was reading your comment. If you could pass on one thing to your students, I would have it be that the end product is not as important as the journey. It’s okay to mess up and have things go wrong, as long as you’re trying. I sure can guarantee that Lily and I messed up many times prior to getting a final product we liked. I can’t wait to check out your student’s blogs! Again, thanks for visiting! Come back soon!
