I will be using the cam to record students reading on a bi-weekly basis so that they and their parents can see the progression or lack thereof throughout the year. I will also be recording students during project presentations, star of the week, will be trying to get students to do weather reports etc…

Last year I did two great projects. Chris and Michelle did the work getting onto to my web page. Now that I have the equipment, I can TRY it on my own. My students were each given a Sabre to research and write a report on. They then drew this person, colored and cut them out. We took pictures of each character and broadcast it on the screen while you could hear the student’s voice in the background reading the report. We also used the video to record the students doing a “chant” for the Sabres. Both of these items were on My Teacher Pages and were a huge hit. It was the highest number of people I’d ever had go to my web page. This could be a great tool to do research projects. Illustrate, broadcast, with reading in the background.

Incorporating social studies concepts! We could communicate with other schools: urban, rural, suburban to see how living in that community is like.

Thanks for the quick tutorial. HS teachers can use it too. One of the ways I plan to use them is to have students create audio glossaries.)
