Well.....I kept putting this one off because I thought it would be hard. WRONG! Reason #1,429 why I love Chromebooks......they make screencasting EASY! I used Snagit to do it. I picked that one because it would run with Chromebooks and I saw a lot of other campers use it. (Side note: when I took the Web 2.0 class I spent DAYS working on screencasting. I did not have the right supplies to record my voice. I ended up NEVER having sound. I love that the Chromebook has all of what you need already in it!) Super easy to add it on and use! I played with the side bar tools a bit and was ready to roll. I wasn't sure what to do it on so I picked how to log-in and use RAZ-Kids, an online reading site. I have been lucky enough to get a subscription to it every year so I can register up to 36 kids. I have never had good luck with kids using it at how so maybe this will help.
Snagit is much easier for screencasting than the options we've had in the past. I had problems recording mine in previous years, too. :) I'm glad this worked better for you. Your screencast will be really helpful for your students and their parents. Raz Kids looks like a great reading program. Thanks for sharing your screencast - I might have to send it to some of our primary teachers to see if we can use it at Sunnyside, too! :)
ReplyDeleteRaz-kids sounds so great. You have sold me. Is it a reasonable subscription fee? I love the interactivity with it and the fun aspect of building a robot. Great screen cast. You sounded very comfortable. I struggled with recording myself! :) It sounded like you didnt have the trouble I did. Nice job Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this website and can't wait to use it!! Your tutorial was quite helpful :) thanks for sharing!!!
