This week we created a GHI Mash Up in class! Prior to that we were supposed to have a video conference with the Tyrell Museum which did not happen due to technical difficulties. It was a very good opportunity, a teachable moment, to point out the importance of being able to teach on your feet as well as the issues that can come up when using technology in the classroom.
For the Mash Up we used the Photo Booth program on our Mac to film our scenes. It was a great activity and our group really enjoyed making our portion of the Mash Up! I think that if the Tyrell video conference had worked, it would have been really educational. I will definitely integrate video conferencing into my classroom as it can enable us to connect with teachers and students from around the world.
