Week 4: Screencasting

Back at it today.  I went on a trip to England and Scotland which was fantastic.  I looked for sculptures by this artist without any luck.  Most of his work is temporary.  The photographs are the lasting pieces of art.  I plan to include some pictures of the architecture I saw in other lessons.  This video is the review and directions for the practice lesson of the first unit of 5th grade art.  I will have to re-do or edit it before I use it because I did not realize that the cursor would have that yellow circle around it which is distracting I think.  I also have a long awkward pause at one point when I forgot what I wanted to say next, and I made a mistake in the directions, and I rambled a bit, sort of like right now.

I tried screenr first, but could not get it to work.  It kept telling me I did not have java installed, even after I installed java.  Screenr also triggered many security alerts, so I decided to try screencast-o-matic instead.  It seems to be very user-friendly.  One security alert window came up, I clicked that I wanted to continue, and so far so good.

  1. Good use of this tool! I love this lesson! I want to go outside and create my own Andy Goldswothy inspired sculpture. I am also interested in learning more about him! I am inspired and interested! Thanks for introducing me to his work!
