Tool #9

Screencast would be very beneficial to students because not everyone learns at the same pace. Some kids need things to be explained several times before they fully understand something. By using Screencast, those students would be able replay any specific lesson the teacher has provided a video for. It would benefit the class as a whole because some students understand things the first time around and get bored when having to hear the same thing over and over again because some of their classmates just don't get it. Since I work with PreK, it would be hard for them to use Jing by themselves. We could make a video as a classroom project though. The class as a whole would have input as to what the video would contain.
Skype would be a cool way to show our students what other students, in the same grade level, are doing in their classroom. This would be good to include in social studies lessons. Using Skype as a way for the teacher to communicate with their students when they have to be out of the class for the day could be beneficial. The teacher would be able to tell the students what he/she expects from them while she is out. That would show the students that even though Ms._____ is out, she still cares about their learning.
