Module Five

Today was really interesting as we visited podcast-audio files that we can download to listen to eg. ipods and vodcasting- educational videos to use- eg. utube.

Fantastic opportunities to use digital stories-mind maps-creating media. Also further explored how to use powerpoint to create stories-photostory/photos with music. Gaining a greater understanding of downloading utube./itunes. We signed on to Teacher Tube and searched for subjects of educational interest. I just embedded a clip onto my page- our site. The possibilities for classroom use are extensive as can use podcast and vodcasting to enhace student skills and understandings.

  2. Hi Guys,
    I have worked out how to embed you tube clips into MyClasses.
    Go to Properties>Create a Property
    Select DIY then click NEXT
    Give your property a title and description
    click NEXT
    A box will appear with lots of icos to choose from (looks a little like word)
    Selct HTML (next to paintbrush icon-middle row)
    A new window opens
    Paste your embed code into this window
    Then selct update
    You can then type instructions or information below and/or above your clip. (Note your clip won't be playing here it will be a red box with a little f in the middle-this is ok!).
    Once you've finished select save
    Then put your property in the appropriate class!
    AND YOU"RE DONE

    This is a nifty little tool!

    Have fun creating :-)
