Webcast Reflection

Creating a SMART recording about parts of speech was not difficult. The most challenging aspect is accepting the fact that I will never sound exactly like I would like to when I am creating the screencast. I, of course, will inevitably insert an "um" here and there. I posted this webcast on my website because some students are struggling with parts of speech. I thought this would be a good resource for them. I showed the students how to access this during class. I envision myself using this technology as a review of concepts for students. I like the fact that I didn't create a separate webcast for each part of speech. Instead, I created an overview of all eight. This makes creating webcasts manageable, which means that I will use it in my classroom.

  1. I really like the idea of posting webcasts to review or give examples of concepts we teach. This would be especially helpful if we were to have another flu outbreak, and had many kids absent. Chad Vahue tried doing this with his lessons for about two weeks, and said it wasn't too terribly time consuming. I'm thinking of creating webcasts for test reviews...
