In the last week or two, you've learned a few new tools. Write how you could specifically utilize screencasting, special FX, or Animoto into your current or future classroom. How can you make these tools relevant to your educational situation?
I believe that any of these three tools can be especially useful for the classroom. All three apps can provide an extra bit of fun (especially the special fx app) to any lesson. Screencasting is especially helpful as the videos can be posted to a class website and assist the students with a topic.
Special FX is essentially used to add a bit more fun to a video. Animoto is great as well. I think the goal with all three of these apps is to use them wisely. The obvious app that has little educational use is the special fx app. The special fx app can add to an educational video however.
There is another way to use these apps as well and that is to supplement your in-class educational program. These videos can be shown during an in-class lesson in order to add to that lesson. Students can also use all three apps as a part of making a review or content video demonstrating their knowledge. So, there are a number of ways in which these can be used, however, with moderation, they should never replace traditional teaching, but, rather compliment it.
