Now What: I've been trying to think of ways that I might use vidcast in my day to day life now and at first couldn't think of any. I watch vidcasts all the time, especially on YouTube. The other day I looked up how to cover paper back books with that sticky plastic stuff. Almost everyday I watch YouTube videos on Zumba work out routine to get ideas and every day I watch something someone has posted on Facebook, currently my favorite is the wildfire fire fighters dancing to Lady Goga's Poker Face. But for my self I thought as I am making up my own Zumba routines I could tape them then watch them back to see if I really like them, then just like the instructors that I follow on Facebook and YouTube I could post my stuff also. My kids like to make movies with their friends. I could create a blog for just my family members that way my mom could see the things the kids are doing.
So What: As a teacher it would be fun to tape some of the activities the students are doing. Typically the dads always miss out on the school programs that take place during the day but more and more moms are missing out on these things also. As a teacher I could record theses special events and post them on my class web site so that the parents don't have to feel like they are missing out on things. Students love to watch themselves on TV or computer and they love working the camera and doing the technical things. For one of the informal assessments for guided reading the students could act out a part of the book and put on an entire recording spectacle. These are just a few of the ideas I came up with.
