What? The day began with filling out our rubric for our Website project. I thought my project went well so I gave myself a good score. I really enjoyed the project and I hope to have my own website some day. The initial set-up will be a lot of work but it will be worth it. Parents and students will be able to stay informed and have additional access to other resources. We also discussed Pod Cast and Vidcast which are other tools you can use in the classroom with your students. So What? Well we have the opportunity to work in groups again. Last semester in my computer class we briefly learned about Pod Cast. In this class we learned how to create our own Pod Cast. As a future teacher I could record certain lectures or special projects. Place them on my website for students to access if they need too. That would be great for students that missed class or simply just want to review your lecture or an assignment. Finally our group completed the Pod Cast that was really fun!
Now What? Our group still needs to complete the Vidcast which we are going to do on Monday. We have decided to show how to create a Mexican flower. I think it’s going to be a little trick to get it done in one minute, but I have a plan hopefully it will work. I’m not feeling good about having my student create a You-tube video especially in the lower grades. I’m concerned about the legalities and safety implications of my student’s identity. I like the ability to show videos in the classroom especially if I’m introducing or expanding on a topic. I will definitely consult with my colleagues before I adventure off doing You-tube videos with my students. I do look forward in creating our group video and having fun with it.
