Podcasts

We completed a podcast in the last ITS class. I was very hesitent when we started. I do not like to be on video/audio/pictures, and I get nervous so I talk funny. I don't know if it was that night, or my partner...but Katie and I had a blast! I really like our podcast too!

I can actually really see the benifit to having students complete these. While I would still have to have strict guidelines and provide a lot of time...these could be fun and educational, but most importantly...memorable!

Videos in the classroom....

In the ITS program, we are currently working on digital videos and editing. I have to say...personally, I LOVE pictures and videos. I don't always like to be in the picture or video, but I enjoy taking them and sharing them. As far as editing....as with a lot of craft type of activities...I usually lose patience. I only have so much patience to use and then I need a break.

In my classroom, we have used cameras a lot! The students enjoy modeling and downloading their pictures. We have not yet ventured into an only video activity, but some of my students have used it instead of a camera. The only thing I have not really attempted with my students is editing. I can see this as going VERY well, but there must be limitations or the editing piece will take days (as with one of my friends in the ITS program...;)). Any suggestions on how to limit editing other then by numbers (one effect, one font type, etc.)?
