2nd verse, same as the first.
- A little slow getting ready this morning, but now I’m all set to head out to Day 2 of
#CGMD12. - Blog: I know where I’ll be Session 8!
- So apparently
@UnhelpfulTeachr is following me. Wonder if she checks Twitter on her phone during class while confiscating student phones. - Looking forward to Camp ITC in Rm 345, presented by fellow
@pgcps employee Tia Simmons! - Oh there’s a lot more than 2 of us! :) RT
@msreneescience: I’m at Baltimore Convention Center (Baltimore, MD) w/ 2 others.

@techtia!#CGMD12#campitc - http://todaysmeet.com Free online chat, participants don’t need to register.
- When building your own CampITC, Plan the Who, What, Where, When, Why, & How first. Set guidelines to narrow things down.
- “Scout out” your tools ahead of time. Google Apps, Elluminate, etc. Start early to help people adjust to the format.
@misteryork1 That’s an issue with any conference. I always check what organization the speaker represents in the schedule. (In reply to Mr. York complaining about sales pitches disguised as sessions.)- “Chat & Chew” sessions – time for discussion vs. lecture.
- Establish “Camp Rules.” Guidelines so that participants know what is expected from them and from the “Camp Counselor.”
- One of the
#CampITC rules: “Reflect & implement new strategies.” THIS CANNOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH! (Emphasis mine.) #CampITC Schedule: Session 1: Getting to know your camping guide (Pedagogy)#CampITC Schedule: Session 2: Take a Hike (Prep/Planning)#CampITC Schedule: Session 3: From Camping to Classroom (Putting it together/Reflecting)#CampITC use a variety of tools for communication/evaluation – Email, wikis, “corkboard” sites, etc.#CampITC Give stuff at the end. Certificates, raffles, door prizes, etc.- I really like the idea of doing a
#CampITC. Thinking of setting one up for my building.

- Ready for the session on screencasting to start in rm 318. What’s this about a web based screencasting app?
- Many people here have already made screencasts. Starting off by bringing the rest up to speed.
- Screencast: Recording of whatever is seen on the screen + voice, often for making tutorials.
- (Screencasting is also often used when creating machinima or streaming video games.)
- Web based screen casting tool: http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
- http://screencast-o-matic.com is Java based, which means it’s cross-platform.
- http://screencast-o-matic.com allows you to post videos to YouTube or sort them into “channels” on their site.
- http://screencast-o-matic.com allows video downloads as well, including .mp4 .avi .flv and .gif
- Paid version and free version. Free limited to 15 minutes. (If yours is longer than that it should be broken into parts anyway.)
- This session has already “paid” for itself. http://screencast-o-matic.com is as good as QuickTime for short recordings.
- 3 Steps to Screencasting: Plan, Create, Publish. (Good for any media creation!)
- “Develop a narration” – avoid “Ums,” “Uhs,” and long pauses when recording. Scripts are great.
- Set up a website (wikispaces suggested) to showcase recorded videos.
- YouTube hosting is good and free. (I still reccomend having an additional site to showcase/sort videos.)
- Use Screencasts to teach/present to parents. (Great way to show the SchoolMax Parent Portal?)
- I really like this screencasting session, alas, I must be somewhere else shortly. Was definitely worth my time.

@thetechtiger Ok. 1st recommendation for next year: give@theartguy a bigger room. - RT: APPlied Club
@APPliedClub Tons of enthusiasm about meeting students where they already are, take the learning to them. So awesome and inspiring!@theartguy (NOTE: Not sure we were in the same presentation.) - RT: Matthew C. Winner
