Class today, the 20th of October in the year of 2011

Today we spent the class learning about screencasting.  What a great tool!  We played around with creating a screencast- the direction was to make it "fun".  And then there was a mention of prizes.  That made me crazy... because then it had to be "good".  My competitive nature getting in my way again!  :)

We were introduced to two different screencasting websites.  The first was ScreenR and the other was Screencast-O-Matic.  I tried both, but the ScreenR site was having trouble, so I gave up and moved to Screencast-O-Matic.  I loved that one and created two screencasts.

My screencast was about uploading to a wiki.  I enjoyed the process of creating it and I think it has a future in my classroom.  I am also thinking about using this tool in my Lesson Redesign assignment for class.

Great work today!
