1) Pre-video Questions: Wes Fryer suggests that by asking the students questions before showing them features, usually shorter features, they will be more attentive and involved in the feature.
2) Youtube "Clone" Sites (Sandboxes): With putting anything on the internet there is a risk. However, I like the idea that their are sites that offer the same features as Youtube, but a little more safely.
3) Narrated Slideshows: Wes Fryer used an example of people that narrate photos they take on their smartphones to explain; I love this idea. Not only is this a fantastic and quick way to create a caption, but it has so many potential possibilities for use in the classroom.
4) Screencasting: I have seen these before, but I didn't know there was an official name! One use could be to help absent students catch up on missed lessons through computer-based tutorials.
Even though I find it hard to incorporate technology at all times I do think that it is essential for students to develop these skills. Throughout my unit with Dr. Grace I have used many videos, digital organizers, a podcast, and more. Additionally, I think using technology in the "hook" is a great tool, if done correctly it can establish how relevant the lesson truly is to the "modern world".
