Becoming An Educator Video Project

I was very apprehensive when I first saw this assignment.  I love to put together videos, but a few years back I traded in my iPhone for an Android cell phone, and ever since have not been able to find a decent video editor to work with their operating system.  A search online recently confirmed my fears.  I did notice that the Samsung Note (my newest phone) supposedly had a great editor built in, but again upon research, realized that the AT&T version did not support the program.  I began playing with various Android & online editor apps including Video Toolbox, VideoZone, Animoto and VidTrim.  I realized I was spending far more time finding the right tool for the project versus perfecting the content of my video.  This, in turn, reminded me that as revolutionary as technology is, at times it can be quite a hinderance.  When it came to recording audio, there were far more programs to choose from, each one having it's own unique benefits.  I ended up using SmartVoice to record my narration, which integrated very nicely with my Note.
