Color Scheme VidCast
By: Marley Nelson & Kelsey Itri
3rd Grade Visual Arts
Standard 1: The student will explore and refine the application of media, techniques, and artistic processes.
Objective 1: Explore a variety of art materials while learning new techniques and processes.
Indicator: Students will know what the colors are and where they fall on the color wheel and which colors complement each other.
We chose this topic because we thought that it would be a fun topic to introduce to
our classroom. It is very important for children to know their colors and what colors are complementary to each other. The VidCast is a great way for us to introduce the topic not only to the students but to their parents as well by putting our VidCast online on our classroom website. Something that could be a drawback of using this VidCast is that you can only have each slide stay up for a certain amount of time. Thus you may have to give the information quickly or the picture may not stay up long enough for students to gather or see the information. This is a great subject to continue the unit, with just one section at a time.

15 February - Photostory
Today in class we learned about making a VidCast. There are many options that you can use like using a video camera or flip video, using photostory or using jing.
I think that Photostory is a really great tool for teachers to use. You have the ability to upload any pictures that you might want to use in your VidCast that has to do with your lesson. You can add music or make your own music, you can add effects so that when the picture changes it has a cool effect that goes from one picture to the other. You can also change the effect of the actual picture, so if you have a regular colored picture you can change it to black and white or sepia. You can rearrange the pictures after you watch the video and a few other things. Its a really great tool and very easy to use!
I don't know if I will always use this option in my classroom, but I think its a great, fun and different idea to introduce new units. I don't think that I will use this one my classroom website, but I think that I will use it in the classroom. I think its a lot like power point, and I think that I'd probably use power point in my classroom more then photostory. But I do think that it is a fun thing to have as an option.

8 February - PodCast
Today in class we learned how to do a podcast and what podcasts can be used for and how to use them in the classroom.
You can do podcasts by using a speaker to talk into your Ipod. You can also record a podcast on your phone by recording on your phone and then emailing it to yourself and then uploading it to your computer. It really is the easiest thing. I never really thought that it would be that easy but it was super super easy. I think that I could use this in the classroom to either put up announcements for parents to hear, or put up information that the students need to know. I think that using the podcast gives your web page and announcements or whatever you decide to use it for will give a different feel and something new to give students a variety.
I really liked learning about this because not only can I put up announcements or whatever but I can also use this to record things I do in class, like record the students and put the recording on my website so that the parents can see what their students are doing in class! I think this will be a really great tool to use in my classroom in the future.
