One of my tasks at work is to make a video on how to use The Smart Board technologies in the classroom. SmartBoards are fun and easy to use. Essentially it is like having a large computer on the wall that you can use with your finger as the mouse. You can also draw with your finger on a web page, erase things with your palm and watch videos. You can import images, save maps etc. It can be a very valuable teaching tool and just extremely fun to use. I have already made some video footage demonstrating how to use the SmartBoard but I was tired on that day and the lighting was poor so I think that I am going to redo it. One of the tricky thing was converting the footage from the mini DVD in the camera to the MPEG4 format but I was able to get it done. I am using Windows Movie Maker which is not as fun to use as Imovie but both products are free and I think it is important for me to learn to use both Windows and Apple programs.
Also notice the beautiful chandelier and molding on the roof of this classroom. The FSU Study Centre truly has a fabulous building in a very central location. I am fortunate to be working here.
Really cool!
