Thing #21

This past spring, my class made vodcasts of stories they wrote. Here's a sample. This was made with Windows Movie Maker, then uploaded to TeacherTube (so the size could be reduced), then downloaded back down to be put into the class wiki. (Then uploaded to this blog!)


The kids got the hang of it quickly and enjoyed doing it. The time-consuming part for me was scanning the pages of 21 student books and then processing 21 vodcasts through TeacherTube. Needless to say, this wasn't something we did on a regular basis. Photos are much easier to download than scanned papers. Maybe next year, we'll put vodcasts on a blog instead. Blogs seem to hold bigger files.

Here is a video I just made to show how some of the ideas from this Library2Play program can be used with the younger children.
