A great way to learn a new program is to PRACTICE…. Video tutorials help as well. Many teachers get overwhelmed with all of the programs and applications of technology. What they really need to do is relax and have fun with a software program or online application. Yes, relax and have fun. Don’t be nervous about making a mistake. That is how we learn… we make mistakes and then learn from them.
Some video tutorials I have found useful are -
- Audacity - Podcasting Video Tutorials by Jason Van Orden
- Photo Story 3 Video Tutorials by Dave from JakesOnline (A wonderful resource)
- Windows Movie Maker Tutorials with a side of advertisement by Marc Liron
Be patient, grab a snack and drink while the video loads, and come back and learn.
A few other safe sites I have found recently that allow you to upload podcasts are:
- Kid - Cast - A site for kids to publish their own podcasts
- Edublogs - By teachers, No advertising
Have you found any others? I will continue to keep looking around…
