I chose to record
in Google Hangouts because it was free, and I like the idea of it archiving in
Youtube. As you can see from my initial video, I was definitely fumbling
around. Recording a session was a challenging at first because I was not used
to the controls or the process. I watched a few practice videos at first, but I
was still a novice. There is definitely issues if you do not have a laptop with
a camera. They are pretty affordable as add-ons, but I thought I could do it
with my iPad. This was a mistake because the app does not have all of the features.
I also need to work
on being more prepared. Synchronous is a lot like regular teaching. I am not a
person who can do it on the fly. I need to be more prepared. I do like the
features of being able to ask questions and collaborate though. I also wonder what you do if no one id participating? I assume you need to set expectations for the class on participating.
Here is my initial
video. Pretty funny and really boring!
Well, the
assignment was to skillfully record a synchronous session to use as an
asynchronous tool, so I had to try again. This time I had an outline, so I was
more prepared. It is not skillful, but there is more of a flow. I did not have an audience, so I recorded it in TouchCast. It allowed me to play around with some of the features that Google Hangouts has as well as Go to Meeting and Adobe Connect. It is weird, but I feel more nervous live than in a classroom. I think it is something about seeing yourself on camera.
