I have completed assignment three, ICT in Practice, but as yet not received any feedback.My next assignment is to create a digital resource. This involves creating the resource and a 2000 word report about how I created the resource and what learning theories I have used.
We can use either our blog or a standard report format for this assignment.
Todays Saturday school was delivered by Tom. He gave us a very interesting overview of the history of video recording which spanned 50 years. We looked at the different media which has been used over the year to record video on to.
We then went out and recorded several clips. Using Apple Mac computers and imovie software we looked at editing our video reordings. It was very easy to use and navigate. Perhaps we could look at using Apple Macs to improve our multimedia facilities at school.
After lunch we took a more indepth look at how to create our digital resource. We looked at planning the resource, learning theories and software available. I used Cam Studio which is a piece of free software which allows you to capture a recording of the screen of your computer and use it as a learning tool. We talked about 20-20 ( free image capture software) which is also a useful tool to use when creating handouts or digital resources.
We also looked a wikis which are webpages you can edit and add your own thoughts.
www.wikispaces.com allows you to create a wiki and limit who has access to that wiki.
Could be used to create a story, with each learner having some input as to where the story goes.
Another busy day.
