Hello everybody,
For my first activity of week two I chose to create a short
video using a program called VideoScribe. The video is located here:
VideoScribe is a fairly easy to use and light weight program
that can be used to create engaging presentations. Overall VideoScribe was a
pretty good application but had many glitchey features that made creating the
video a bit of a pain. For example, many of the included svg graphic files did
not animate properly when included in the presentation. Instead, they would
simply pop into place much like they would in a standard PowerPoint
presentation. Also, using my own svg images was nearly impossible as many of
them simply would not display properly in the final video render. Even
considering the shortcomings of the program I believe I was still able to
assemble a fairly good video and I would recommend this program to other
educators. The company that has published this app is fairly new and I believe
VideoScribe will only improve over time.
Was the tool easy to
use?
Yes. Aside from a few glitchey features the few included
tools were intuitive and easy to use. It took me less than half an hour to acquaint
myself with the programs features.
Can you see yourself
using this tool with students?
Because of the glitchey features I would not recommend this
tool for student use. There would be too many technical difficulties. However I
would certainly use this tool myself to create videos for my students.
What level of Blooms
Taxonomy or ISTE standard was addressed with this tool?
The tool itself does not address any single area of Blooms
Taxonomy. The subject presented by the tool on the other hand could address any
of the three domains of knowledge. My video addressed cognitive knowledge.
Use of this tool could meet many NETS T ISTE standards including
(but not at all limited to): 1a, 2a, 3a, 3b, 3d.
