- How much effort did you exert preparing for the screencast?
- How does creating and sharing a screencast with your peers impact your future teaching?
I LOVE SKYPE! i love everything about it. So when choosing a cool technology tool to do the assignment on, SKYPE was what I wanted to do it on. This made writing the script extremely simple. I knew the pro's, I have experienced the cons. I have been brainstorming ways of using this in a classroom since I first started using it.So... the script was easy peasy. Plus I got to learn new features of skype that I have never used: i.e screen sharing, and skype managing. This was all fascinating. I didn't start struggling till I realized i had WAY TOO much fun information to talk about. I think I re-did the jing around eight times just trying to figure out everything I wanted to put in the screencast. That and avoiding saying the uhms..... but after 3 hours of work, it is finished. ALthough not perfect, it is done and I am happy with the outcome! FINAlly!
This whole screen cast sharing has really lit a fire in the field of technology and education. I feel like "If I was able to do this then I can do ANYTHING!" I also hope that my screencast will help them to see all the things they can do with skype. I am sure many people already know, but maybe this is the little push they needed to get it started in the classroom.I want to continue doing these activities all through my teaching technology crusades!
