Screencasting

Screencasting

Back in my country I am a teacher. I love have students working in small groups because it is a very effective way to teach big classes like mines. One of the major benefits is the interaction and cooperation among students. But sometime when I assign group projects, most students complain that they don’t have the time to meet because everyone is too busy or they live far away from each other. Another problem that I face in my classes is when we have presentation. Most of the time my students work on PowerPoint and the day of the presentation it just doesn't work or they forget their UBS at home. So I decided to use Jing to do a tutorial of Google Drive.

With Google Drive, students won’t have the excuse of lack of time for working in a group projects because it allows people to share and edit documents from wherever. Also they won’t need any physical device to save their files. Google Drive works like a cloud service. You only need a connection to the internet. This application has a lot of features that can be very useful for teaching or learning. In order to make my tutorial, I used Jing. It takes screenshots, captures an image of what you see on your computer screen, and record screen casts up to 5 minutes of onscreen video. So I just installed Jing in my pc and I made up the tutorial of Google drive.
