Getting a Video

Have you ever had to show a video to your classroom or crowd of coworkers but could not due to the lack of internet access. How would you solve this issue? Personally, I have no clue how to get around this but I would like to try and guess before finding out. Seeing as we are in the digital-age, I am sure there is an online program that you can upload your video to and it translate into a format useable without internet connection. Although I have not used Jing for making videos but I have seen the option available, therefore, this may be a resource to use. Of course, using a phone, Ipad, or laptop could work depending on what type of video you wanted to show. Using a phone as a hot spot may also work or buying a portable hot spot that can be plugged into a USB port. These are just a few options that I can think of, as I have never explored the options. I always found a way around showing the video to get the information out.

To look at more ideas of this topic, visit this Padlet. Padlet is a virtual cork board that can be used by various users. This is a great technology that can be used in the classroom for students to share their ideas on a topic before teaching it. It can also be used for exit slips. It is very easy to use, but then again, I have used this tool before and do not know if that has something to do with my opinion. Even so, I would still say this tool is easy to use and students would have no trouble using it in the classroom.

When using this tool, you will use the ISTE NETS-T 1, Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, and 2, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. Teachers will be able to use this tool to assess students learning before, during and after a lesson. This tool also allows students to reflect on their thinking before, during and after lesson. This tool could be used like a KWL chart. Using this tool in the classroom would be great when trying to engage students when learning. Students rarely like assessments and this is a student friendly way to assess them.
