Thanks to library media coordinator, Kenny Foster, for this blog post about two innovative recording methods she introduced to freshman English students. For Freshman TED ( technology, entertainment, and design) talks, two ninth grade English teachers approached me about something “different”” - instead of the typical requiring them to stand in front of the room for 3 minutes. I suggested to them that they offer two alternatives. First of all, I suggested Jing - a screencast option that allows the presenter to voice over another type of program such as powerpoint or word. The students open up the visual presentation and record the audio through Jing. To give Jing a try, click here. For the second option, I have always loved paper slides, and I so enjoyed working on the paper slide video at the DEN Ambassadors training a few weeks ago. I think this is a great idea for any group because the drawing is second to the presentation. Therefore, a presenter can do this whether he/she is a great artist or not. On the other hand, if a presenter is creative and artsy, there are no limits to what he/she can create! Our Freshmen have really enjoyed working with Jing and paper slides. I believe that the greatest success has been that many of them have told me that they love these two presentation tools, and they can’t wait to use them in other classes!

I definitely want to try "Paper Slides" with my students. I think they could be very successful with this mode of presenting!!
