Video: sharing with students
This week, my 9th grade students are preparing for a student-led conference with their parents. They are reflecting on their learning in each class. I’m asking students to do a comparison of two recent labs (one on light, one on sound) and the gains they have made in analyzing and writing scientifically about data. It occurred to me while they were working on the sound lab that it would be great if they could link to a video of them actually taking the data!
So, I whipped out my camera and took some short digital video clips. I uploaded them to Teacher Tube, and from there I was able to embed them on my wikispace! What an exciting way for them to show their parents what they can do in science!
A few students asked to embed them directly into their platforms (iWeb, blogs, powerpoint) . For that, I just emailed the video clips. Does anyone know other ways to share video files?

Using Jing: screencasting
Here is a screencast I made (one of several) for my Biology class. I used Jing to do this.
