Here's the Embeded Version of my Screencast-o-matic

My Screencast-o-matic

I created this Screencast-o-matic for my precalc students to help them learn some key functions on their graphing calculuator. 

Here is the link to the youtube video:
Graphing Calculator Bi-variate Analysis

I had trouble playing it on my school computer since it was a large file (15 minute) video and the upload took too long.  Students and myself were able to access it from home and view it there, fortunately.

Google Survey

I created a very helpful Google survey using Docs to help me analyze the current state of my PLC. My Principalship class through UST requires this type of analysis as part of an ongoing project.  Using the survey was time efficient and helpful in that is summarized the responses nicely.  Even my professor was impressed.  He asked me to forward the document to my UST classmates so they can use this tool as well.

Google Survey #2

One thing I learned after I created my survey is that there is NOT automatic numbering.  I had considered numbering my questions but I figured having no numbers would be better than redundency. 

Just a heads up to the rest of you.

Google Forms

I didn't have too much trouble creating my Google Survey.  After I created it, I did struggle when I attempted to send it because I created it, then closed it and returned to it hours later.  When I opened it, it was in spreadsheet form and I couldn't figure out how to see the standard format.  I ended up sending it out twice - once with the spreadsheet format and then again in the correct form.

My Experience Thus Far with 5TTT

I feel like Pinocchio becoming a real boy.  Not knowing how to do something like embed video in a blog or make a drawing with software other than Geometer's Sketchpad made me feel somehow like not a fully fledged member of the 21st century.  Now that I can do these things, I feel more present in life.

Some tasks were harder than I expected them to be and frustrating when the usual methods of learning these skills (like Atomiclearning.com or asking my fiance what to do) did not bear the solutions I needed.  Other activities, like creating a Screencast-o-matic, were surprisingly easy.

I like being part of a community of learners.  Not only have they proved to be great resources in my 5TTT journey from the very beginning, but they make me feel like I'm not alone in my struggles.  Thank you all for that.
