If you are reading this now sorry I was sick and my internet stopped working this week.
What? We are learning about vidcasts, which are pre-recorded files that can be broadcasted over the Internet. We are creating a Podcast that is 1-1 ½ minutes long and then uploading it to your website under tools. Danielle and I created a public announcement about a girl who has cancer and ways to help raise money such as a fair.
So What? We are learning this lesson so that we can learn to create and upload vidcasts.
I think that they will be beneficial for kids who were sick and aren't able to come to class. If a child is really sick, has cancer or any other reason not be in class for an extended amount of time, it would be beneficial to record my lectures and class activities so that my student who maybe sick could still have a semblance of being a part of the class discussions. I would also be able to collaborate with other colleagues that may not live near me, together we could work on different lesson plans, then show how the lesson worked! I think that it is smart to use this tool and I will try to use this tool in my classroom, when I can.
Now What? Like I stated before this would be an amazing tool for students to use if they are sick or absent. Also if I am having a hard time connecting an activity for lesson I could perhaps watch a video of a colleagues who has done the activity before. When we were in Dr. Remariz's class we watched videos of different activities that we could to do in class, if I were to just read the description it would be more difficult to understand what the class was doing, but watching the video helped it so I saw exactly what they were talking about. This is a very good and important tool to know and understand.
