Activity #4 Screencasting
This was quite the experience! I used the recording tool from SMART. It was easier than I anticipated.
This would be a great tool to use when giving the same directions numerous times. Also, this would be an easy way to introduce new vocabulary words and high frequency words. The students would be able to see each word and hear how to pronounce it.
What a great thing to describe to families!! I might just have to use this one! You are getting to be a TECH JUNKIE! Are you taking over Kyle's job??
ReplyDeleteGood choice Therese. We could put your video on our first grade web page to help families!
ReplyDeleteHaha...We did the same screen cast- Mrs. Raymond's Website is a gold mine, and I am constantly going over how to get there:)
ReplyDeleteGood choice for a first video. I am so excited to do these screen casts instead of writing out directions on how to access different things on the web.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Can we use this on our 1st grade web page for parents to use and find the web pages?
ReplyDeleteYour screencast is great, Therese. I liked listening to your voice. I love the idea of kids getting to hear their teacher from home, and the gentle coaching on how to find something or even how to review a concept for homework for a second time. I think my own kids would really get a kick out of something like this available at home!
ReplyDeleteOnce I get over the fact that students and families will be listing to my voice at home, this will be great. We can use if for so many different things!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I would be excited to see how you use this tool in your classroom this school year! There are a lot of good ideas out there! Make the tool work for you!
