What's the best way to learn? Teach it to someone else!
Now that you've gotten some experience with some fun new web tools, it's time to test your knowledge and share it with the world! (Or, at least, your peers and even your teachers...)
For this task, you will use "Screencast-o-matic," a free online tutorial creator, to make a video showing how to use an online or iPad tool, such as Glogster, Prezi, iMovie, Explain Everything etc. Feel free to have a look at one of our iPads and browse the apps that we have, or do some research on the latest and greatest tools out there. The goal here is for you to learn how to do something, and then teach it someone else. Don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone- the best way to learn something well is to teach it!
Or alternatively from Screencastomatic, you can use the iPad app Explain Everything and create a video that way. (You could even use Explain Everything to show how to use Explain Everything!)
It's been said that 65% of us are visual learners... so let's share what we know and get everyone comfy using something new!
Click here for a tutorial on how to use Screencast-o-matic... You can model your own tutorial in a similar way. Then try it out! You'll have to use one of the Macs as they have the built in microphones. See Ms. McLean or Mr. Bridges for a handout on Explain Everything, and/or click HERE for some online instructions. Good luck, ask questions, and have fun!!
Some things to keep in mind:
-->Go through the steps BEFORE you start recording and write them down. Sometimes what's obvious to you might not be for someone else, so be thorough!
-->Speak clearly, slowly and enunciate.
-->Be enthusiastic! ("Bueller? Bueller?")
