In the second half of chapter 8, Richardson gives an overview of Screencasting and Live Streaming. Screencasting is defined as "verbally narrating one's computer work." Richardson suggests that screencasting can be used by educators to create training videos, tour of created powerpoints, and for a video collection of exemplar student work. I like the idea of having students use screencasting to annotate their work, especially their power point presentations.
I would like to use screencasting, as Richards suggests, to have students read a story or poem that they have written and accompanied with appropriate visuals.
My questions is, "Is it possible to post a screencast.com project on Edmodo?
Richardson also discusses Live Streaming in chapter 8. He defines this tool as "web tv for classrooms." He gives a recommendation for the site, <ustream.tv>. I believe that live streaming is a great way to help students who are absent keep up with class discussions and lessons.
I have two questions regarding this tool: First, are the needed resources available for use at FHS? Second, does this tool compromise people's right to privacy?
