Blog #7: Screencasts

Educreations

As this applications main highlight is an interactive whiteboard, I think it would be a great tool for demonsrtating things like math problems and scientific displays. It is also a great tool for uploading a picture or diagram and labeling various units for things like science or maps in geopgraphy. It would be a great program for students to display their projects or show their work to figure out a problem. It works best as a display for diagrams but not directed towards displaying a website or resource on the internet. More of a create your own type of tool :)

Doceri

I found Doceri to be extremely useful! Out of these programs it was the most versitile, not only can you do screencasts and voice recording but use it for an interactive whiteboard and wireless accsess between ipad and computer. It is a great tool to implement in the classroom to display a website and use live instruction while mobile or as a way to display hand-drawn lessons while walking around the classroom. This tool will be so effective for mobile instruction as well as all sorts of different presentation types, hand-written, display of a resource or simply to use a voice recording. Very versitile!

Jing

Jing is a very simplistic program. It is very easy to use for screencasting as you simply highlight the webiste or resource you'd like to display and hit record. Although it is exctemely easy, it does have a five minute limit. It is effective for screen casting a website and using voice recording to show someone how to use a program or display a resource and explain or highlight key points of a section. Because it is the most simplistic and easy to use, I will be using it to record my screencast using glogster :)
