Activity #4 Screencastomatic!!
I chose to try screencastomatic. It was easy to use, just click and record. It took a few tries to upload it though, not sure what the problem was but it finally went through. I chose to show a few different sites for keyboarding. Parents quite often ask for them in fourth or fifth grade when students need to type things out and parents realize how long it takes. Instead of just typing up a list, this could be another way to show different sites available. My video got a little long because I was showing how a few different games work. Students could go in here as well from home as an easy way to access some sites. This would be a very easy way to put tutorials on a blog or web page.
As a side note: I really notice how much I use "um" when I was recording. Shomion would not be pleased :)

Nancy, I became self-conscious of my saying "um" as well! Don't worry though, I didn't notice yours so hopefully it's just more noticeable listening to yourself :)
ReplyDeleteI like this idea better than just giving a list of sites, especially since you could explain which games you liked and why. A hunting and pecking game shouldn't be considered a typing game! Thanks for sharing these sites - I think I'll use some of these games in info tech! :)
ReplyDeleteGood job, Nancy! It takes awhile to get used to hearing your recorded voice! These websites will be good to know, since I will be working with older kids next year.
