Today I spent time trying to find a tool to use for recording lessons. I looked at Todd Nesloney's website and several of his recommended tech tools. I like Sophia and 30 hands. I have used Jing in the past and it was really useful but it needs to be downloaded. I am really excited to be adding Todd as a resource.
I think that the hardest part of recording a lesson is finding the courage to push the record button. Once I started talking it was just like being in the room. I tried to use educreations but I couldn't seem to get it to do what I wanted it to. I want to be able to use printed documents and other manipulatives when I am recording. I tried to upload a picture of a document into educreations but the test did not scroll with the document. I ended up doing a video on how to use the Excel template and how to enter the information into it. I used the built in smart board recorder and it worked well for that task. I think that the combination of this tool with a document camera would be perfect for what I am trying to do
My lesson targets the evaluation level of Bloom's Taxonomy. They will spend a lot of the prep time at the application level but inevitably they will have made mistakes in their equations. The real learning occurs when they try to manipulate their equations and ultimately get their graph to look like the one they drew.
