Since
my job title is Library MEDIA Specialist I figured that this topic which is all
about media is one of the most important topics in this class! Media really
is everywhere we turn and in my opinion isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! I
have students who are better then I am at using technology and in order to keep
up with my kidos I need to make sure I am on top of not only the new technology
that comes along but also how to do simple tasks like scanning a document or
taking a screenshot.
One
of the ways that I learn new things is by playing around and exploring anything
and everything about something so that I know all of the ins and outs! If there
is something that I do not know how to do I will not stop until I accomplish
what I set out to learn. Taking a screenshot on a computer, phone and iPad are
something I know how to do, and it is something I actually do on my phone all
the time. I use a PC at work and a Mac at home so sometimes I have to stop and
think which device I am on so that I know what I need to do to take the
screenshot. Being able to take a screenshot of something is very helpful to me
when I am at home since I do not have a printer. By taking the screenshot I can
then save it and email to myself so that I can print at a later time. This is
one tool that I use all the time on all of the devices that I have.
Many
of the tools and resources that were listed are ones that I am familiar with
and have used in my classroom and also on my own time. One tool that I had never
heard of was snaggy and I was intrigued and wanted to check it out. It seemed
that it was an easy way to be able to share the snapshots of my screen with not
only other people but it seemed like it could be an easy way for me to be able
to save images so I could print them without having to email them. It is really
very simple to use and I like that it is not blocked at my school so I can
actually use it J I also LOVED the article on Free Range
Scanning about how to scan something using your phone or table. I am always in
need of a scanner and most of the time the one that I have at my job is
terrible. The videos that she linked were great and I am planning on sharing
this with everyone I know because I know my teacher friends will love as well!
I
am a pro at Instagram and making videos but wanted to share one that I made of
my dog Riley!
