Housekeeping
- Please remember to check the availability of a ChromeCart before putting in a request for one at kwcpstech.weebly.com
- Also on that website, I have included a calendar so you can view the availability of the iPads. Please remember you may only check out iPads for three days at a time.
Thank you for everything you do!
This week's featured technology: Touchcast!
Touchcast is a way to record videos, and embed multimedia pieces in it. It would be great for a flipped classroom, to post things on your Google Classroom, or even as a project-based learning assignment for students.
Currently Touchcast works only on iPads. It does have a PC beta version, but you will need a webcam, and mic to make it work. Please feel free to check out some iPads if you are interested in using this app!
Now for the how-to
Normally I try to keep my videos around five minutes, and no longer than ten. No luck this time. This video is nearly 14 minutes, and I still talk faster than I would like. There's a lot of information! You will not receive an IT newsletter next week, so hopefully this makes up for it!
Finally, some of the audio/video may be a little off because I was syncing two devices to make this video.
