screencast take 3
Well... we obviously messed up with our screencast. When you click on the link it takes you to the site but there is no screencast! I'm going to try again. Unfortunately, Benjamin has gone to bed...it's late and he has school in the morning! I'm going to have to make the screencast.
Just made it... can't get it to upload.... connection keeps failing. What's up???? It's bed time! I'll try screencasting take 4 tomorrow.

screencast take 2
I'm thinking this is my only solution unless I save the screencast as a video like I did Benjamin's digital story and then past the html code here. I my choose to give this approach a try. For now I'm good with the link! http://www.screencast.com/t/Avn5Puk6
Planning for my next technology class
Tomorrow night is my 5th session for "Technology in the Classroom" a class I've been facilitating this school year. We meet once a month for 2 1/2 hours in the David E. Norman computer lab. Tomorrow's session is about podcasting and screencasting. It is my goal to have a screencast Benjamin made for me uploaded to this blog by the end of tonight. It is amazing how time consuming the prep for each class has been. Because I am so new to all of this I have to spend hours studying, practicing, exploring, and creating before I can present it to the teachers. This experience has been both exciting and frustrating.
Tonight I have been thinking of ways to make this class better for next year. I wish I had known to plan out my process better from day one, session one, but, as I've shared, I'm learning as I go this year. Next year will be much better. I'm thinking next year I will guide the participants to have not only an end-of-session product to take back and try in their classroom, but we will have an end-of-entire-class product that will incorporate all that we have used and learned about via a class blog. Each teacher could have been creating revising and adding to their own class blog this year. Why did it take me this long to get my focus and vision? Back to figuring out how to post the screencast!
