This week's  video was trickier than I thought it might be after talking with some of  you yesterday.  I decided to get a new app on my iPad, Explain Everything which can do screencasts among other things.  I thought is was recording as I was navigating the site, as everything looked okay on the screen.  When I played it back however, sometimes the screen lagged, and I was still talking like you could see what I was referring to. So I learned to pause before navigating to another page on the website, and that helped.  I still had to insert some photos in places in order to clarify directions.

But then Explain Everything assisted with a problem I was having in iMovie for the iPad.  It didn't let me do title slides or credit slides, only add text on video or photos.  So I created my title slides and credits in Explain Everything, and uploaded the image as a photo to my camera roll, and then inserted in the right spots in iMovie.

Hope this is useful to some of you.  Common Core is really pushing for thinking and reasoning, and not just asking students to produce right answers to 30 problems just like the one modeled for them by the teacher.
