On the other hand, I really look forward to making more screencast videos. There will be tutorials I can make for my students. Some may include screen shots or videos. One of the most important things I learned from this activity is that it is very simple and not time consuming at all. I spent the most time trying to figure out which program I was going to choose. My decision boiled down to free download and the length of video I could make. I ended up using screencast-o-matic even though some others had more capabilities. I was hoping to find a program I could use on my school computer as well as my home computer. If I end up using this process more, I may look into upgrading to something else. I can relate this to Smartboard which has a new feature. It is now possible to video the lesson you are teaching using the Smartboard. The ease of this process has made me even more excited to try out the new feature and use it for lesson reviews for kids that were absent or kids that need more teaching.

EDTECH 501: RSS in Education
RSS feeds was the topic of this week's adventures in technology. I was unaware of RSS feeds until now. I know many people use them on a personal level, but I doubt that I will, since spending time on a computer is not how I choose to spend my free time. On a professional level, I think it will be different. Now that I can have articles and ideas sent to me instead of searching, the time spent with this will be reduced. I can now spend time reading, researching, and learning instead of searching. Using it with the students may still be questionable, I do like the picture of the day idea, and I hope to also talk to my building tech person about the school website and if it can be utilized with that.
