QuickTime X, which is the newest free version of QuickTime player, was recently added to our list of applications. The QuickTime player version we had before only allowed us the capabilities to watch .mov files. Now, with the help of QuickTime X, which is located in your applications folder as QuickTime Player, we are able to create and share a Movie Recording, Audio Recording and/or Screen Recording. Click on your Desktop screen, click Go at the top of your screen, click Applications and then double click on the icon similar to this picture:
lets you record with the use of your web camera at the top of your monitor/screen. You can record something to put up on your blog or email to your parents. Your students can record themselves reading, or narrating a story to be able to instantly playback, noticing their mistakes and then recording again to better fix their mistakes.
lets you record with the use of your internal microphone located up by your web cam at the top of your monitor/screen. Again can be used efficiently to record a podcast to play for your students, to record them narrating a story/play, and/or to record them explaining how to solve a math problem.
lets you record both your computer screen and your voice at the same time to showcase something on your computer for your students or others to follow. I have used this for both 4th and 5th grade students to record the basics of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint respectively. This differentiates their learning, allows them to work at their own pace so they are not waiting for me to show them something when they are done (I can just have them watch the next video), and what student doesn't like to watch and learn from a "YouTube" style of video.
*Lastly with this version of QuickTime Player you can Share your finished products to iTunes, your MobileMe Gallery, directly to YouTube if you have an account, or directly to your desktop to save for later.
*To export to your desktop make sure you click on your recoding type from above, then click on the little "white down arrow" in the recording bar,
then click on "Choose" at the bottom,
and lastly choose "Desktop"
