I'm Now a Movie Maker!
If you play the video above, you will see my first ever educational movie (a vocabulary dictation on shops and shopping). I hope you enjoy it.
I'll be using it with my boys on Sunday. 
I've had a great week. This has been the Professional Development week within the system of Higher Colleges of Technology here in the UAE. I've been to two one-day conferences, one in Al Ain (vocabulary) and one in Sharjah (e-Learning). We've also had sessions here at HCT in Fujairah, with Barry Dahl from the US as the main guest speaker. His web site is here, with lots and lots of great material, and we've very much enjoyed having him here.
Now we need a week off to actually look through all the things we've learnt - though that's not going to happen, of course.
The weekend is here. Tomorrow morning I'm off to Dubai. The first stop will be IKEA, where they have a cooked breakfast for AED 4 (USD 1).
You can't beat that. I'm meeting up with some friends from Abu Dhabi. There's also a Gulf Film Festival in Dubai this week and I hope to catch a movie or two.

Great video! Makes learning new words and taking a quiz fun. Movie Maker is lots of fun. If you have time to sort through all your photos you can create a beautiful slide show with music or narrative sound track. Wonderful way to view all your fantastic photos. You have such a charmed life!
Sending my happy thoughts through the looking-glass.

I am so happy for you for your video and for the fabulous weekend coming up. You deserve every bit of it!! I will be thinking of you and wishing I was there with you!
How are things financially in Dubai now? We hear that they are in trouble after putting so much money in building. I would surely love to see it. Take care, my friend, and have a ball!!
