The screen cast was much easier to record and upload than I thought it would be. I recorded an example photoperiod problem, which is a large project that the 7th graders do every year. We begin practicing photoperiod months before the project begins, but there are always a few student who still cannot calculate photoperiods during the project. I end up spending many lunch bells working with students on this, so this screen cast should help to reduce lunch time for both me and the students. It was so easy to use - I can't believe I have been afraid of trying this for so long. I hope for next year to screen cast much of what I do so that I can stop repeating myself so many times a day:).

I like your screencast. This has the potential to save so much teacher time we spend going over and over the same type of problem. I wish I had a 7th grade teacher like you when I was in 7th grade!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea, so long as all students are aware that this example exists. I think this will save you, Tom, and students (as well as their parents) a lot of time and frustration with this project. This can be useful to any teacher who does long-term projects. This could be life-changing for 8th grade teachers when they do Sculptors of History!
