Workshop

Screencasting to Engage Learning

Students in both K–12 and higher education will spend all of their personal and professional lives immersed in a digital society. Educators in today's classrooms must be able to use and integrate both current and emerging technologies. One of the keys to effective 21st century teaching is to balance traditional pedagogical methods with the effective use of technology to foster learning.

Many educational technology tools can be used in instruction; however, one fundamentally useful tool in teaching is the screencast. A screencast can provide learners a student-centered and engaging learning experience in both distance and traditional learning settings. Screencasts enable teachers to create a digital recording of any instructional activity performed on a computer screen,¹ and they can be used as learning resources, learning tasks, and learning support..

Screencasting: For instructions , tutorials, flipped classroom

Podcasting

* October 24th: Podcasting and Screencasting Podcasting Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term, coined in 2004, is a blend of the terms "iPod", a popular portable audio device, and "broadcasting." The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading feeds like RSS or Atom. Usually a podcast features one type of 'show', with new episodes released either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily or weekly. In addition, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.

PRODUCING AN AUDIO FILE

Circles

Circles

Use Google+ Circles to manage the conversations happening within Google+.

Not familiar with Circles? The explanation is simple and they’re even easier to use.

Circles, similar to Facebook and Twitter lists, let you categorize people based on related topic, industry, hobby or skill.

Once categorized, you can use Circles to keep up with posts from your favorite people. It makes commenting and sharing a breeze!

HOW TO USE CIRCLES:

• Share posts with a select group of people to target your specific message
• Post to “public” to allow anyone to view and comment on your content
• Create notification circles to update certain followers e.g. when your latest blog post goes live
• Add people to specific Circles or lists as you follow them to keep things tidy

hacks to improve your google search

Search a Website

For a search you want specifically from a certain site, just type your term and then “site:” with the desired outlet.

Hacks to Improve your google search

Similar To

To encompass a wider definition than you’re currently searching for, add a “~” in front of the word, and Google will pull up results from similar terms as well.

Wild Card

Sometimes a memory lapse leaves you searching for the right word. Instead of guessing, put an asterisk in the vacant spot and have the search engine figure it out for you.
