Hi Everyone,
I made a screencast with screencast-o-matic. It was pretty painless, although I had to install some java extensions for my browser (mac). Now that it's enabled though, I could see myself using this to share videos.
I see two great uses for this. First, it would be great for flipped classroom instruction. You could click through a prezi or powerpoint and have a whole lesson online for students at home. For math and science concepts, this would be amazing.
This could also be great for professional development. For instance, a video on how to log into staffnet, or share a calendar on Google. They could be all on one Youtube channel and be very specific to Mounds View's needs.
Thanks for sharing Diigo--Emily and I were talking about it today, actually! It might be featured as a Web 2.0 activity in the near future. :) I like your idea of using screencasting for professional development. I'll have to pass that on to the tech dept!
ReplyDeleteCutting edge teaching tools and editorials!? NICE!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is a cool resource. I went to a Conference earlier this summer, and Diigo was actually one of the tools that was presented. Your cool web 2.0 tool helps you find other cool tools. What a perfect system!
Enjoyed your screencast to introduce Diigo. I'm going to explore it!
