For my latest LSSL/LMS class, I had to record a 1-3 minute video of how to teach someone how to search for information on the internet. Since my 2 kids are currently trying to con me and my husband into letting them get a hamster (to go with the hermit crab, guinea pig, fish and 2 dogs - one of which is a 5 month old puppy). Oy Vey! We're going to have a full zoo soon!
Since my district uses Canvas and I will be teaching other teachers, students and parents how to access information in Canvas, I chose to use the Studio function in Canvas. I have used this before during Covid to create online lesson videos for my students. Studio uses Studio Capture and Screencast-o-Matic for recording videos. I thought of my oldest daughter when I was talking in the video, so that I (hopefully) not talk over her head.
It is a rather quick video on how to complete a search, but here it is:

In the past, my videos on how to use Canvas or another program, typically ran about 7 minutes. I tried to talk quickly and not babble in this video. I hope I succeeded in completing the assignment in a concise manner.
This was a great video! It was helpful and on point. So~ did your kids talk their dad into getting a hamster??
ReplyDeleteMy 12 yo made a wonderful 14 slide, in-depth Google Slides presentation and both of the girls walked him through the presentation... but he said "no way!" (thankfully) I suggested the girls keep saving up their allowance money, update the presentation, then pitch it to him again. I do foresee one in the future, since they already have a name picked out - Alexander Hamsterton or Eliza Hamsteron (yep, my kids are history dorks too!)
DeleteSo much fun! My 6 year-old helped me with my video inspired by watching Creature Cases on our flight to Seattle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to help kids get interested and feel like it relates to them! I also really love your future hamster's names! :)
ReplyDeleteYou made your video very entertaining and fun, even in three short minutes! I'd say a great success!
