In our group we have already all written up different parts of what we would like to talk about in the group. In our group meeting we came together with 2 minutes worth of speech each and posted them up on Google Docs which allowed each of us to view and edit each other’s speeches. As I learn more about Google Docs I am finding that I am spreading it to other areas of my study. This has been very beneficial to my learning and as such will be used by me within the classroom as long as the education system will allow it. If not I will look for educationally approved programs that are of a similar setup.
During the tute we were looking at approaches to learning. This was an interesting subject (especially linked in with the readings from last week that talk about the three main pedagogical approaches, constructivism, behaviourism and cognitivism). This really brought all my knowledge about the area forward and allowed it to advance as I was learning new and applicable things.
I found the tute was also very informative because it showed many different places you can go to make videos. The websites were alright. There were a few that I did not find very interesting however the screen-o-matic website was a great idea because I had already decided upon doing a screen shot of a move by move video editing. Upon looking at my laptops abilities it does say that I can record full screen captures however upon trying it I was told I had to pay for an extension on pre-existing software. Screen capture works well because it allows you to show people how to use certain software and they can always have a video of it in case they need to go faster or slower or need to see it more than once. I will definitely use it for my classroom because it allows the person viewing the video full control.
