Cool Tool Technology Screencast: Poll Everywhere

REFLECTION

I put a lot of time into my screen cast. I took a few hours to search and experiment with my site (Poll Everywhere) before creating my SWOT analysis.  The SWOT analysis took most of the time in this project.  It was hard to find weaknesses on my tool, but I finally found some. There were so many strengths that it seemed like that was all I could focus on. Once I had the analysis done I didn't think it would be that hard to actually create my screen cast, but I was wrong.  It took me a while to get used to talking aloud to my screen.  It was also hard to keep a smooth pace. In the beginning I would lose my train of thought and have to start over. Again, again, and again. I also had to cut out a lot of parts I wanted to talk about because I was going over five minutes. I liked this project more than the others so far and thought I really learned something.

By creating and sharing my screen cast with my peers I felt I got a lot out of this project. I was able to view all of their screen casts, which allowed for me to view over 30 different tools that I can use in my future classroom! And not only that but by watching their screen casts I can learn how to use those tools! It's gonna save me a lot of time and work by just looking at their thoughts on the tool and how to use the tool! I think this was a great projects because we can all use these tools in the future and we can watch the screen casts for these tools to learn more!
