It would depend on what type of presentation I am giving as to which I would choose. If I am wanting to present detailed information as opposed to a short preview, I would use Screencast-o-matic.
I did like the fact that Adobe Spark was easier to navigate than Screencast-o-matic. If there was an error in the narration, I could easily correct it by deleting and rerecording only that section of the presentation.
Screencast-o-matic
Adobe Spark
I was able to start an Instagram account and a Vine account. I have heard the students talk about Instagram and I can see how both programs would be entertaining for them. In an effort to grasp the students' attention, I pondered ways of using these programs in the classroom.
One way of using Instagram in the classroom is to save pictures on the class Instagram page and have the students to use the pictures as writing prompts or inspiration for Art or Science projects. Vine could be used to help introduce a subject or to evaluate the students' interpretation or understanding of a particular subject matter. Below are some things I posted to my new pages:
I love your idea to save pictures on Instagram and use them for writing prompts. Students would be able to access the picture and create a written text anywhere.
ReplyDeleteLove your instagram picture and vine. Instead of Adobe Spark I would rather use the Movie Maker on the IPAD and you can do the exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your stop motion Vine! Love it! I too liked Adobe Spark. It was super easy, however to do a "screencast" you would need to do screenshots and put them in as a picture. I think you did a great job making a text feature video!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so many great teaching ideas. You did a great job on your screencast. I like how you used Adobe Spark to teach text features too. I still haven't tried it, but hope to before the end of this class. Congratulations on your great reads. You'll have to let us know how you like Ghosts. I know lots of kids waiting to read it. ;0) Jill
