W4 Video Discussion Observational Skills
This week we are going to do an activity to practice your observational skills. Your preschool observation is coming up in a few weeks and I want you to have a little bit of practice on observing and recording what you see. I know this is not the same as observing a child in a preschool setting, but it will help you notice small things and record them without adding your own opinion.
What is going on in this picture? I want you to look carefully at the picture and describe what you see. Be very specific but only include the facts that are observable, be very descriptive.
Here’s a reminder on how to post a Video Discussion
- Place your cursor inside the text box, click on the “Canvas Studio” icon (it looks like a computer with cords coming out of it), and select “Create” If your display is narrow, you might instead see a “More” icon (3 vertical dots) at the end of the toolbar. Click on the More icon to see the “Canvas Studio” icon.
- Choose the “Screencast-o-Matic” option (I think this is the easiest way)
- Click on the “Webcam” tab.
- Make sure you have the correct microphone and webcam selected, then click red “Rec” button
- When you are finished recording, click “Done” button. This displays a preview of the recording. Click the Play arrow to preview; click “Start Over” if you want to redo the recording.
- If you are happy with the recording, click “Upload” Make sure to add a title to your recording
- Click “Continue”
- Once it has finished uploading, Click on “Embed Media”
- It will load directly into the discussion then you need to click “reply” to submit your recording!
- Use the following Canvas guides if you need more help creating a video recording
- Canvas guide:
- – Studio will auto caption your video for you.
For this discussion you must post before you are able to see your classmates’ replies.
You must record and post your own observations about this picture before you will be able to see anyone else’s reflections on the image. Make sure to comment on at least one other student’s keen observations this week. Did they happen to notice something that you missed?
