Hello!
Podcasting and Screencasting both seem to be a great step forward in educational technology. Being able to share information through audio and video is a very easy way to make a big impact on the audience. There are so many ways to use this technology with students and staff. Podcasts for book talks, reviews and reports, library orientations, using databases, and even our library catalog are just a small amount of the ideas running around in my head.
I personally have yet to listen to podcasts. I was happy to see the list of 5 EdTech Podcasts You Should Listen To. The first podcast that I would like to listen to is TEDTalks Education because it is so relevant to our field. Another resource that I LOVED Isinglass Teen Read Award Nominees Book Talks. This is such a wonderful example of what I would like to do with and for my students.
I wanted to learn more about Screencastomatic to start off because I have heard buzz about it. Once I got acclimated I figured that I would just try to do a basic overview of how to use our library catalog to find library resource. While this is something that I hope students would be comfortable with at the high school level, the students still need support. The next area that I would like to explore is the editing features to cut down on repetitious content. Overall, I felt that Screencastomatic was user friendly and straight forward. I would definitely recommend this site to students and teachers.
