This was a lot of fun this week. I learned about podcasting or screen casting and I have to say, I am really excited to bring this technology to my program. I joined screenr and recorded my first screen cast video that involved how to log into our Charms Office Assistant program. This online portal is a location where students and parents can discover information about calendars, finances, forms, schedules, etc. This is also the place where teachers go to send a quick e-mail and all students and parents in the program. It's a wonder and easy tool for us to keep in better communication.
The screen cast was fun, but also had its issues. I found that I tried several different screen cast sites, but liked Screenr the best. I liked it best because I could manipulate how much of the screen is recorded, which for me was very important - I didn't need to show everyone my shortcuts, and I could also post this video anywhere I needed.
I'm positive that this will be used more frequently in my school band program. We have several technological tools we use and this will be a great addition to helping students/parents get around using those tools.
