Cool Tool Reflection

Link to screencast: http://screencast.com/t/BFQb7a3zHDv

My screencast required a lot of effort on my part. I took a lot of time to do my SWOT analysis on Show Beyond. In preparing for my screencast, I prepared a script and highlighted the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. I double checked to make sure that I had everything to the best of my ability. I rehearsed my screencast prior to recording it and I did this several times. Once I was prepared to record my screencast, I then did multiple recordings of my screencast. I recorded my screencast on a Windows computer and a Mac computer and picked the best one. I recorded my screencast and saved it at least ten times. I tried to pick out the best recording, one that had very little mistakes.


Creating and sharing my screencast impacts my future teaching through analysis. I think as future teachers, many teachers will be hindered to many cool tools, but with my peers and me revealing so many cool tools, my future teaching will benefit from it. I know I have already viewed some other cool tools and I will be considering the use of that cool tool in the future. Also, through the SWOT analysis I was able to learn about a cool tool that I will use in my future class. Show Beyond was such a great way for students and people in general to share stories through pictures. I really enjoyed doing the SWOT analysis of Show Beyond.
