I thought this class with Tim Childers was outstanding. I've watched videos from the Khan Academy and seen various other online tutorials but I had no idea how simple these videos actually are to create. I was blown away at how many short tutorials we created in just the short 50 minute class period.
For starters, I had no idea that our Smart Boards would also record! What a great way to give students a review they can access from home, a tutorial for struggling students, a refresher as part of a review or an introduction for an absent student. I can think of so many ways that I could use this in my classroom to help parents and students in their learning!
I also had not used www.screencast-o-matic.com or any other similar programs to record things on my computer screen. What a great way to teach parents or students how to use Edmodo or other "new" programs for third graders!
Tim taught this course through his Edmodo page and shared lots of tools and tricks with Edmodo. I did not know that Edmodo had an unlimited storage. This is really a great way to store all of these great tutorials.
