Jing 2

When creating my Jing 2 video I was a little nervous to begin the project because it seemed very overwhelming. I actually ended up greatly enjoying it and can only begin to imagine the possibilities in the classroom. I know that TechSteps are a major concern for many teacher and that just seems to be a great way for all students to learn various steps to take, in small and large groups. The fact that the videos are only 5 minutes long should not be that big of a problem either because scaffolding could be used to help learn smaller pieces at a time. I learned also that by creating a video, students could work in small stations and still recieve verbal directions on many different projects. By far, I feel this is the best device we have used for the classroom and I am eager to use it in mine. I believe this touches the NETS standard one because it inspires and innovates students to learn in both a face to face and virtual environment. Students could be taught a skill on TechSteps then record themselves and take auditory notes in order to remember how and what they did. Also Standard 2 because design learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity because students could create several videos themselves also, teachers could assess how they complete different assignments and their thought process through this to analyze and reteach if needed.
