Grapes of Screencasts…

Filed under: Education, Technology — loeps @ 6:20 am and tagged , , ,



Lets be honest. We all have done this. You ever come up with an idea and you know if you open your mouth, someone is going to say…”Great idea, why don’t you organize/take responsibility/do it!”?
But you open your mouth anyway?
This project was developed as a possible answer to a perceived need to introduce or reinforce skills required to utilize online tools for our staff and students.
As budgets become tighter, screencast tutorials may be one answer to cheaply and effectively deliver this required instruction. However, this is not very easy to develop on a larger scale. It was one heck of a journey…one I am thinking is the beginning of more to come!

Please take a look at my project. I would really appreciate feedback. Any feedback, e-mail, post, whatever.

  1. Your screencasts are really good. They will be very helpful to teachers. St. Mary’s used to be an elementary school. Does that mean your elementary teachers use an online gradebook? Do parents have access to the grades? If they do I am jealous.

  2. Well thank you for the compliment. Yes, St. Mary’s is an elementary school. Our whole division uses the online gradebook. Parents do not have direct access to grades but reports by student or subject can be printed out.

    I would think in the future that would be a natural (some would argue artificial, but..) progression.
