May 24 - June 2
This week's assignment was basically to make a YouTube video and then review a couple of internet sources. It took me a little time to decide what I wanted to make my tutorial video on and I wanted to keep the topic simple. I remembered that I did a lesson while I was student teaching on the water cycle. I wanted to keep my video simple so that most 1st graders would be able to understand that and I am pretty sure that I was able to do that. I did not get into a lot of detail in my video which again keeps it pretty simple for the younger grades. I ended up taking my iPad and recording a PowerPoint presentation that I made. I would like to think I am pretty good with PowerPoint since I have made a couple personal videos using PowerPoint and my own video camera but this time I tried to just record with my iPad since it would be easier to post to YouTube that way. I did get my pictures from Google I simply googled images of the water cycle and picked the most basic ones since the water cycle can get more complicated for the higher grades. I have included a long video of the Magic School Bus talking about the water cycle since this was the video I showed when I actually taught the lesson. However, I rented the video from my library. :)

I really love the simplicity of your video and think it would be prefect for my first grade classroom! What did you use to record it on your iPad? I used the Explain Everything app. Keep up the hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lyndsey! I used my iPad to record my PowerPoint presentation. Feel free to use my video. :-)
