Technology tool

There are several tools out there that enhances learning in the classroom. One of the tools that I liked using was screencaster. This tool helped me as the teacher direct my students with the steps of how to get to the correct website for their assignment. Screencaster was very easy to set up, and I enjoyed the ability to use the microphone to help explain my directions. This assignment directed the students to an online math game to help them improve their fractions. Using screencaster I was easily able to explain my directions of how to find the internet site. If a student missed class they would be able to make up the assignment by accessing the website with this link. Students could also use this link to refer back to for a bigger assignment. I will use this website if I explain how to search or find websites on the internet in front of a classroom for the future. http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c2X6cXeop5
