screencast video

This was a fun thing to learn! It was great to be able to show students how to use the computer and accomplish a certain skill.

What I chose was showing students how to use the animation tool in their PowerPoint presentations.

I re-did the video 3 times. Jing is very user-friendly. You can re-do things after you review it to make sure you are creating the effect you want and making sure what you are showing is clear to the students.

I really wish I had a microphone on my computer. I wanted to be able to do a video on food webs and I was going to discuss them by using graphics and being able to point to different sections of the graphic.

This is a great tool for the classroom especially if you have students learning from home because they are ill or we have snow days.

Within the SAMR model, it appears that this ability to show a video online of what you are doing on your laptop is a transformation. I would consider it a modification. This is huge, but most students are used to using their own laptops. You are just able to show them your laptop and teach them how to  do certain tasks.

Here is my video on animations in PowerPoint presentations:
