10 February - Vidcasting!

Vidcasting is so much fun! Creating videos to post on the internet is easier than I thought, too.  I didn't know You-tube accounts were free! You can use any multimedia source and post it to the internet.  Whether its a Windows product or a Mac movie maker, it all works, and its so fun to make!

In my future classrooms I will definitely be using vidcasting! There's so many ways and reasons to use it.  I can post videos on a class website as a resource or for homework (FUN homework). I could even create videos with my students, as group projects in class, or out of class, to present a topic.  We could post those videos to our class website and show them to our class, even other classes.  I could also use those videos every year, to show to my new students.  I remember in my junior high English class, our teacher would show us examples of videos that former grades had made for a project.  We always loved to watch them and thought they were so funny. I'm sure my classes would enjoy creating and watching their own vidcasts.

I can use vidcasts now in my field experience.  I can also use a vidcast to create a visual report or project for school and be able to open it at school, with out bringing my computer and trying to set it up with a projector.  Vidcasting will make things more simple and a lot more fun!
