What?
This week in class we began working on Vidcasts. At first I was nervous with Vidcasts. I was nervous to use the technology. We are doing it in sections so it is not as bad as I first thought. We are making a Vidcast through Photostory about CPR for Standard 4 which is about Safety.
So What?
This is an easy way to to teach, especially things with steps such as tutorials. My students will enjoy it more because there are images they can look at and music, along with audio instead of just being lectured. My students will also enjoy the use of technology. Students are able to relate to technology and enjoy it when it is incorporated into the curriculum. We are doing this to give us additional resources so that we don't have to lecture all the time, students have a resource to find information, and so that students don't get bored by being lectured to all the time; it adds diversity.
Now What?
This means a lot to my future students. This technology is definitely a resource I will use in my classroom. I will use this vidcast in my classroom for the students to follow along with when learning about CPR. It will help the visual learners and by following along and participating in the activity, kinesthic learners will be addressed. This is also a great tool that I can use in my other class or that my students can use for reports or projects. It will give them a new way to present materials and I think the students will enjoy it.
