My slidecast so far

I am not sure if the narration is even working on this as I have been unable to view it all day, but time is running out for me this week with a sick child so here is my progress so far. I have set the narration which seems to have transferred however my editing of the slides in correspondence with the narration does not seem to have worked. When I can access slideshare (it seems to be working really slowly and then freezing?) again I will try to rectify this. Personally, I really would rather have someone else narrate or use music in my slidecast rather than my own voice, which I have tried to record without background noise! I can appreciate the technology and how it can be used and wouldn;t hesitate to use music or video to improve my powerpoint  I and will definitely be keeping my slidecast account.

I am trying to access some presentations I completed at my old workplace to keep for future reference and editing as I may be able  improve on these to incorporate into lessons at a later date. I also think that slidecast would be fantastic for students to work on their own material, the potential is endless for work on presentations, stories and narration and documenting field trips and activities just to name a few.

Again, this is another way to incorporate the Learning Engagement Theory and Active Learning Theory into the classroom. ICT'S such as slidecast can assist students developing procedural knowledge, putting a powerpoint and slidecast together also allows students to Use Knowledge Meaningfully which is addressed in Dimension 4 of the Dols. I am currently in the process of using the 6 reasoning processes listed under this category right now
