So I have a friend in the teaching program at the local university that is learning to use Activinspire. Rather than trying to walk her through steps on the phone, I thought I would use screencast-o-matic that I have heard a few others talk about. I know there are other sites out there, but this one seems kind of simple and can hold up to 15 mins. Then there is an instant upload to Youtube... which I suggest, because I had troubles with my video being viewed straight through the site.
So my first attempt is here = yes I talk fast and say a lot of ummmsss....hopefully I'll grow out of that someday!
Pretty nifty tool.
My friend, Paul Nolan, is using it to pull up essays of a student and give them personal review of their papers for them to listen to. This saves class time, he records at home and gives them the link. Then the whole class can listen to his conferencing on their paper at the same time in class. If you try to pull each student one on one in class - there goes a whole week! Also, he knows what topic to recover as a whole class, or what specific student he really needs to pull for some extra work. Genius I say!
May have to do this more often!
