After reading Ramsey Musallam's post on "Quick Tutorials" he comments on two out of the five iPad whiteboard recording apps, include an online hosting service, where your video can be viewed online. There are several different sites that all support the same type of recording application. Mr. Musallam chose educreations.
This week Mr. Musallam posted a tutorial of educreations. Watching this screencast helped to explain several questions I had. Google allows you to create a webpage; this is different from our blog, but I suppose you could add this to the blog as well. Educreations is what I would consider a blend between paint and powerpoint. You have the opportunity to draw on each slide or add things to it, to create a demonstration of your choice. This would be an excellent way to demonstration a math problem.
Once you have finished your educreation, it will automatically post to wherever you have a link posted. i.e. Your blog or google webpage. This is where an ipad comes in handy. Teachers can use this program to demonstrate problems and it will automatically update for all students to see. At first I almost felt like this method takes away from the personal one on one with students but I now see the benefits. Students will have this example to look at later and it will save time on the teacher, 'if one student has a question, chances are that several students have the same question'.
