H. Geom. Screencasts: First Day in the Lab

Today, Friday, May 15, was the first day our classes visited the lab to start producing our screencasts. It was a practice day. We made sure the two software packages were properly loaded. They are TI Smartview and Jing screencast. All went well.

Students practiced with TI Smartview. One student commented that the software seemd easy. It is! Another student commented that he wished TI Smartview was faster. Me too. Just understand this: it is only natural that the software is slower than your hand-held calculator and slower, certainly, than any video gaming equipment you're used to.

Next week: Second drafts of the scripts are due on Friday, May 22. Also, we'll be back in the lab to start actual recording. Get psyched, students! You are doing awesome work and developing important 21st century skills. You are also creating valuable on-line lessons for future students. This is education at its finest. Bravo! I am very proud of you.
