If you have a Windows please become familiar with the software Screencast-o-matic. Here are some helpful tutorials courtesy of Shrobona Karkun.
If you are a Mac user please use the screencasting function on QuickTime.
If you don’t have an internal microphone on your computer you can borrow one. There are several places on campus where you can do this. You won’t need it for long.
Your oral presentation will focus on one part of your written reflection – lab 11 – (1 out of 3)
Your screencast should be 2-3 minutes long. Don’t go overboard.
Please include 2 PowerPoint slides in your presentation. One should contain an example of the work you did in lab coupled with the learning objectives/outcomes you accomplished. You will use one of the concepts/learning objectives that you learned in the class to explain what you did in the lab. In a screencast – you use your microphone to narrate over what appears on your computer. Please watch the video for an example of what this should look like.
In the second slide you should include an image or a link to a website that shows how the concept you examined sheds light or provides insight into a real-world problem.
IMPORTANT – Under no circumstances can you just upload the video you make. Formatting and size issues make this very hard. Instead upload your video to a file sharing application. You can either upload it to Owl Box and share the link to the folder with your instructor or do what I recommend – upload your video to YouTube and make sure to make it “˜public’ or “˜unlisted’ for privacy settings. Please see the second video for help with this task.
Have fun with this!
