The Screencast

The screencast assignment was a tough one because I had to spend a lot of time downloading plug ins for my computer, but in the end everything came out nicely. All I needed was java and after 20 minutes of recording and deleting, I finally got finish my screencast and publish it. I found the screencast to be a great advantage. Not very hard to use, very summative and very informational. It is absolutely a great tool when it comes to contact with parents and it can work very nicely in front of an audience or crowd.I can use screencasts when I will be absent or not able to go to teach. This way my students will still be in contact with me and receiving my lessons. As a musician, screencasts are extremely helpful when it comes to analyzing a work based on its sheet music. I can focus the recording window on the sheet music of a piece and talk about it while have the students look at the score. I defeinitely love screencasts!
