My first screencast!
I did it! I made a screencast. Whew! I made this video about how to use the AR Bookfinder website to choose books at a child's independent or instructional level or to "level" a personal library of books for classroom use. I will share this video with pre-service teachers in my undergraduate class as a resource. In the past, it takes about 10 -15 minutes to go through the site in class. Now I can "flip" it and have the video to share as a resource for students when they need it rather than adding it to the class lecture.
I will admit - it took much longer than I thought to figure this out but now that I have done one it will be easier next time around. I used Quicktime - screen recording option - to make my video. Then I uploaded it to YouTube and used the YouTube "annotations" to add a few notes. My next project is to use the EduCanon website to add questions and reflections to a couple of videos on YouTube that demonstrate guided reading - for use with pre-service teachers in undergraduate classes.
