Initially, I was really frustrated by this, because every time I went to use the Smart Notebook Recorder, all I got was a green screen without sound upon playback. Everyone else had no problems, so I figured it was user error. Of course, it was. I had downloaded the free version of Notebook and it never asked for the product key. When I went to try a few weeks later, it warned me that my free version was about to expire and I had to enter the product key. VOILA. I did have to change some settings on my Mac to enable the microphone to work, but since it's a Mac, that was easy to figure out!
The huge bonus in not being able to do this assignment was that I learned how to put my screencast in YouTube today! I wonder if these two assignments should be reversed?
I wanted to show something useful for parents and students and something I've repeatedly tried to write down in steps. So, I opted to show how to look up books of interest at a student's Lexile range. Here it is:
Nice video. Your voice recording sounds really good; it is really crisp and clear. I feel like the next step is creating a an organized way to share these videos across the district. I have seen so many videos (including yours) within this group that I feel like I or other teachers might want to use. I feel like the shared folder or Drive needs some regulation and oversight to keep the video library organized and efficient.
ReplyDeleteShowing how to access books based on data... what a MV superstar! Todd would love this ;) Nice job Anne! And I agree with Mike completely - how great would it be if there were more cross-district sharing thus leaving time and energy for other things...
ReplyDeleteGreat video, and it looks nice on your blog. That is good information that would be great to share with others!
