Screen Casting

I chose to create a screen casting to go over my ADST K-5 Curriculum on Canva.

I used Quicktime since it was already installed on my computer. I found the program easy to use and it gave me a few choices of settings such as a timer at the beginning. One aspect that I found frustrating was that it cut out the first few seconds of my recording in the final file. I tried a few times and each time, the first few seconds on my introduction got cut out. I'm not sure if anyone else had that problem and found a solution but this is a potential issue for teachers looking for a reliable screen casting program. 

I think screen casting could be an effective tool to help guide students to use different features of a program. It could be used to help catch up students if they miss a day. They could watch the screen cast and see what their peers learned that class. It could also be used by students to explain their understanding of a task.

Have you used screen casting with your students before? Are there potential downsides to this tool?

    Hi Rachel,
    I think screencasting would be useful for students who were absent. I could also see the benefit of having students create a screencast to showcase their learning. I have never used it, but after this experience, I think that it may be a big task to teach them how to edit their videos afterwards. I know there's a learning curve to editing videos. Also, students would need a quiet area to do the recording.

    HI, this is Julia. Your video looked great, I liked your clear voice and pace. Something I wish you would have done was edit out your bookmarks bar. I know your bookmark was safe and okay to share, but for the future it might be a good idea. I remember someone showing a video they made and the first (and only thing) the students were paying attention to was the fact that they filmed it on a device that had 1% battery left, so they couldn't focus on anything else haha

Updating the Plan

  You can access the previous Linoit board here. I chose three photos to add to my library re-design that demonstrate a potential for the space.  First, I chose a photo of a makerspace wall. I like this photo because it takes up minimal space and would be a concept I would use in my current school's library due to lack of available space. By having a makerspace wall, students could have the tools to engage with design thinking in the library. I received some feedback that a wall may make it hard for some students to reach the materials they need. I have updated my design with a rolling cart instead. You can view the updated linoit board at the end of this post. Second, I included a photo of moveable walls. I indicated where the walls may fit in my layout and walls would make the library space more flexible to accommodate two separate classes in the space at the same time. By freeing up some space, classroom teachers would have the option to bring their classes in to use the ma...

Iteration 2

  Here is my second iteration of my library learning commons model. In response to the feedback I received, I fixed up the grammar mistake in my "Creation" box, changed the background colour to a bolder choice and added in an updated logo.
