Vidcast Reflection

This week we created a vidcast based on a standard from the Utah Core Curriculum. As a group we created a vidcast on the Sixth Grade Social Studies Core Curriculum. Once we had picked out the core, create our script, and picked out our images, it was easy to create the vidcast using Photo Story 3. The photos were easy to download once they were saved to my computer. Making slides in PowerPoint was easy and once I was able to figure out how to save them as a picture, it was easy to put them in Photo Story.

I really like that in Photo Story, a voice can be recorded and then immediately listened to from that slide. I also liked the fact that the time for each slide was automatically determined by how much voice was recorded. The recording was clear and easy to understand (after a few tries) and easy to do. It was easy to record, transition, order pictures, save, upload, and finally create. The steps were easy to follow and the directions easy to understand.

Once the vidcast was complete, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be to upload to Youtube. Just the press of a button and customizing it and saving. I absolutely loved that. It was also really easy to put it on my Site. Once I understood the instructions, it was easy to actually put the full video onto my Class Site and keep it there.

I really liked this assignment because it was something that I have never done before and it was really easy.
