ActivstudioDay3

It was very exciting to be able to create containers that had videos on differentiated learning styles embedded in them. You simply click on the container with the title you are interested in and view the corresponding video. I can see many Activstudio uses for teachers AND administrators when presenting information.

What I learned today in Activstudio

I learned how to create a flip chart using containers. I learned how to embed a www.unitedstreaming.com video inside of one of the containers. I learned how to make a large container accept and reject smaller containers. I learned how to type questions and hide answers that will pop up on demand. This can be used in ANY classroom, most subjects, anytime. I envision tests being made, then students grading their own papers immediately. OR...tests being taken, teacher-graded, then handed back for re-teaching and retesting immediately. Because I am an administrator, I have already started a team teaching flip chart for use at the Opening In-service in my school. If I use this tool in Professional Development, then I will know how to encourage other faculty members in my school to also use this tool.
