Screening a Treasure Trove

All the staff at school have been provided with iPads for them to learn their uses and to develop programs for their students. I thought it was important to use an iPad screencasting tool to see if I could make a screen cast that could be shown on the iPad or through a PC.

I chose to use Explain A Wesbsite.  Things I learned:

• turn your washing machine off before recording
• turn other noisy background noises off
• think about what you are going to say prior to recording
• check the screen for relevant information to highlight before you begin recording
• despite being called "Explain a website" you can't highlight or write anything in the URL bar so I had to point from below to the URL address.
• possible to save to iPad
• possible to save to Dropbox
• able to view on PC
• emailed link and another person was able to view it without being logged into Dropbox
• it gave me the option to save it to my iPad, I did I don't know where it is saved!

Tatura Trove Screencast

It was good to have the task to complete for the PLN on screencasting, as I had tried this before and had become frustrated.  This time I could create, save, export and show it off, success!
