New Toys! This week we were using new tools, things like video casts, voice casting, YouTube and Jaycut. I found that using technology can be great but there are things that go wrong. One lesson learned is to make sure that the technology will work as predicted with the class. Trying things at home will not be enough. We also have some special issues here because of our computer setups. Our tech department is great and very responsive but they definitely need to be more involved as we go forward. I believe that this type of technology will be a great asset to our students in the case of snow days and absences. I can also see video clips of pre-lab demos or demonstrations of difficult labs. I also am convinced that IE needs to go and hopefully we can go to google chrome or firefox! I tried chrome here and there are issues with permissions to go on the Internet.
Overall this week was positive but, I hate listening to my voice and seeing myself on screen. I will have to work on that.
