Screencasting

So this weeks activity had me feeling a little uneasy. I rarely lecture in first grade. My lessons are very much, come to the board and help me out. Call and response. Think-pair-share. It is hardly ever me just talking. SO, I had to think of a lesson that I use, that is me talking. Poetry!

When I teach poetry the students have to listen to the examples and how each poem is constructed. Now that the hard part is over (thinking of the lesson), I can use the Smart recording tool. That was super easy. I found the recording button right away, started recording and look what I got! Don't be too hard on me, it was my first time recording. I sounded a little dull and I'm sure with more practice I could sound more interesting. Also, my cursor didn't show up on the recorded lesson.

I thought uploading would be simple since there is a little video icon to use. However, every time I tried using this an error icon would appear. So, I went ahead and made a youtube account and uploaded to youtube.com
