Okay, I cheated and combined my assignments to catch up! But activities 4 & 5 go together like peanut butter and jelly. I used Smart Recorder to create a screencast to show students and families how to access our Mackin VIA account, then transferred the video to YouTube so it would be easy to embed on our school website. If I make more screencasts, I'll definitely use Smart Recorder. I've tried the web-based options, but this is much simpler to use. I've heard similar complaints from my campers this year, even though we've updated our directions after feedback from last summer. Having my own YouTube channel is a great way to save not only my videos, but those that would be useful to share. I like that you can turn off advertisements and annotations too - it takes some of the risk out of showing videos in school, since those ads can be quite shocking! Anyway, here's my video:
Hi Jenna,
ReplyDeleteI did not have any sound with this video. It may have been my computer though, which has been ill off and on most of the summer!
