Quick Notes:
- University-educated people were/are considered to be knowledge keepers, and a university's main goal is to develop manage, discover, collect, and encourage knowledge.
- Data ---> Info ---> Knowledge ---> Wisdom
- Building off of yesterday's video, school has now evolved slightly towards preparing people mostly for work and for being contributors to society. As for High School, the focus has been to prepare people for university.
- Audacity didn't work for the download on my work laptop, I had to request access so it should be cleared within the next 24 hours.
Today's Reflection:
I've already started using some of the new applications we've learned in some of my assignments for other courses and it's definitely been a huge help! I've also used Screencast-o-matic for my online business for giveaway draws and the quality is so much better than when I have to hold or mount a 2nd device to record the prize wheel spinning. Plus, I don't have to transfer files between accounts or upload off my phone anymore since it's already on my laptop.
I think Screencast-o-matic and Vocaroo are the two tools that I am most excited to use for my work and with my students. Often times in my ELA and Science classes, I ask students to create tutorials, write lab reports, and record summaries of their research. Giving students an alternative to writing or typing up their assignments can be a great adaptation for struggling writers. It is also an easy, comfortable introduction for students to improve their public speaking skills without the fear of standing and speaking in front of a class. For my work, I love your suggestion of using audio clips for giving feedback on assignments. This would have been a great tool to use when communicating with students when we were doing remote learning.
Glad to hear that you can immediately put these apps and strategies to work!!
