Since we're used to reading our blogs on Sunday, I figured I'd post my plans then I'll return Monday night and post the results of the lesson I'm planning to implement in class on Monday, 3/16.
I created an accounting quiz to check the understanding of the current chapter with my students before they do a performance (summative) assessment next week. I'm also typing up the lesson to share with Todd.
Part 2 of our homework is to create a screencast video explaining a new tool to a class. I'm going to use ThingLink because it's new to me and I haven't used it yet because I wasn't 100% comfortable with it. I really love the potential of its use for students in all of their classes. I will share that link once I have it created. I hope your plans are going well too. Talk to you soon.
I created my screencast using Screencastify (a tool I learned in the T21 cohort) instead of screenr because I had trouble downloading java on my Chromebook. This was a learning experience. I had some images already in Thinglink to talk about but when it became time for me to upload a new image that I had saved to prepare for this lesson, I kept getting messages that the image was too small. It took me several tries and several deleted screencasts before I finally had one that worked completely. I will share the link with you to check it out.

Debbie,
ReplyDeleteCongradulations on your success. I hope your lesson goes well. As elementary art on a cart this is a stretch for me to carry out. I have no exposure to these apps or programs. I feel a bit lost at this point and hope for clarity on Wednesday.
