Week 4 - Engagement Activity 8: upload video

Engagement Activity 8:upload video

Here we go, the no sound video uploaded to youtube, embarrassing, but this is what I experience from windows movie maker.

It was a pain to find out why, and my other touch smart movie maker works at the same time.

At the moment I will stay away from video for the classes, as youtube or all kind of video tubes have too much safety risk. For secondary students, the can easily get off track looking online videos and not concentrating on the subject materials, and it is already too much time consuming. 

Although if there is a holiday project, I will consider getting students to make their own videos and share with each other.

made this little video with windows movie maker, I couldn't get the sound to work, but I do have another movie maker program on my computer which works better, after looking at online review windows movie maker is not the best option, so I don’t think I will use this in the future.

Week 4 - Engagement Activity 6: podcasting

Engagement Activity 6: Podcasting

Here is my very first podcast through podomatic

This is a better version of Voki? Maybe

PMI for Podcasting


Pod casting
Positive
it is more personal
it attracts the auditory learners
it is fun and engaging
it can be download to potable devices
no need for subscribe
Minus
Time consuming to do good sound record
it can be boring
Interesting
it can be used for a lot of teaching

But I like this one better somehow more than the Voki. It is a bit tidier and easy to use. The visual effect is better, but I would really use the mixture of Voki and Podomatic depends on the year level.

Maybe I can show students how to use this tool, and for second language classes, I can get students to read something and record it in their second language and using podomatic to respond to my blog. I will have my copy of podcast  link there for them to compare, this can be quite interesting.

Thanks

Week 4 - Engagement Activity 5: podcast

Engagement Activity 5: Using web-based Podcasting

Math podcast

This might be a good idea to educate myself, and use the math podcast to show students or parents that how math is used in our life, this will help to get students engaged by using podcast. It is very useful for myself, to connect to other math teachers online to see what they are doing for this profession.

I thought podcast is only audio, but if this video is a podcast, does that mean it is also visual?

Week 4 - Engagement Activity 1: photo resize

Week 4 - Engagement Activity 1 Resizing and uploading digital photos

Re size my FOOD photos :P

re-sized these food photos, the size of them reduced to 100-200 kb from over 2000kb. This will still let viewers get the ideas from the photo, but saves me a lot of time uploading them.
good tool, definitely will use it again.

Thanks
