1. Our group used a couple of different tools to deliver our PD tutorial. The first tool we used was Jing (www.jing.com). We chose to use this because it was able to record our voices as well as what we were showing on the computer screen. The second tool we used was Camtasia (www.techsmith.com/Camtasia) because it was able to do the same thing as Jing, but record for a longer time and also convert to the appropriate format.
2. During the development process of the final project, I learned how to use Vyew (www.vyew.com) to conference with other group members about our project. We used Jing to do a screen capture of our text conversation. We also used Vyew to do a recording of our actual conversation for a second conference. This project also taught me that there are different free tools to convert one recording format to another. For example, we found that the way Jing saves recordings is not compatible for playing on Prezi, so we had to convert it. I used a program called Switch to do this. I also learned how to use Jing and Camtasia to record my voice. One of the things that I did not know about (and still am unsure I like) is Celtx (www.celtx.com). This was used to create a storyboard of our presentation.
3. If I had to develop a similar product again I would not push my group to take so much time on making the story board. We didn't find that it was necessary, especially since we had a script to do the tutorials from. After doing the four tutorials, we were able to come up with the material for our presentation on Prezi pretty easily. I also might explore using other programs to expand my repertoire of tools.
Here is the link to our final project.
