Today we learned about certain tools that can help us to create vidcasts. Those tools are a flip, which is a video camera. PPT, a familiar program called powerpoint presentations. Photostory, Photostory is a neat program that puts videos and music into a video. The last is jing. Jing is a creative tool that allows you to creatively prepare presentations.
As a current student I know that all of these programs can really help me through the program. I love to use videocasts and podcasts in my assignments. Its a simple way to get the information clear and precise to the teacher and the peers. I really like how we have broken our lesson down into four different categories. How to lessons are great ways to present. Tutorials are great ways to teach. Public service announcements are creative. Intro's give a great preview. Each of these methods are great ways to provide learning and feedback for school.
As a teacher I can use any of these programs or presentation methods in my classroom. I really am looking forward to creating my project using Sony Vegas. Sony Vegas is a wonderful tool for creating podcasts and vidcasts. Its difficult to want to switch over to a program that is less advanced. I would have to re-learn a basic program which takes a lot of time. My advanced video program gives me the opportunity to advance my skills in the program. I can use my advanced skills to create video presentations for my classroom :)

Amazling Blog 3 *Week 3
Podcasts! I love making podcasts! They are audio and video presentations that are small in size and short in length . . . typically. Today in class we used Mac computers (which is a stretch) and we had a lot of fun recording a voice over of a school announcement. I really enjoy this a lot!
As a student a podcast could be used as a way to record notes. Recording my notes would be a wonderful way to repeat and learn. I could ask questions, tell stories, repeat affirmations, and Q.A. for test exams. Its also a great way to share notes with the co-hort. I am very excited for video casts. These will be sooooo much fun! I love these things. I use Vidcasts all the time for projects and assignments.
As a teacher vidcasts and podcasts are excellent features for the classroom. They are perfect to be used on the class website. They can also be put onto discs and sent home with the students. I think this would be an awesome *scrapbook for students. I could record podcasts, vidcasts all year long of fun events and send them home on the last day of class. I am so excited for all the new cool ways to put technology into teaching! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! :)

Amazing Blog 2
I am learning how to create my own website. Its a great function that google has given to the public. It will be a great resource to use one day for my classrooms. I am also beginning to learn about Digital Media Boards. I have never used them before. It feels like I'm learning a new program but not to much new.
I really like the website I created. I feel like this is helping me to be a better student. Its a challenge yet simple to create. I really enjoy how it allows me to be well rounded and to learn new things. I also love google documents and how it helps us as students get a better experience of communication. It really promotes communication and I really like that. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn new skills as a student.
As a teacher I have one concern with using this website as a community outreach. There are school districts and areas that are poor. I don't think that every parent is going to have the opportunity to get online on a computer and follow up on their child. A poorer family will still need paper handouts. On the bright side of things, its great to have the parents able to see what the students are in need of homework and school work wise. This really puts some awesome organization into everything.
