My TPACK Journey
Through the experience of creating this eBook I learned that how to embed YouTube videos within a SlideRocket presentation. This will be useful when showing video clips to my class, as it reduces other distractions on the page so that students are able to focus in. I am feeling pretty comfortable with this tool and would gladly use it in my own classroom as an alternative to Prezi or Microsoft Presentation. With regards to this ebook form as an end product of a Project-Based Lesson, I would say that this tool offers a number of angels for students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts. With ways in which students can include videos, music, pictures, and words students can learn to create a visually appealing presentation while demonstrating their knowledge in other areas. Some pedagogical strategies that teachers must keep in mind when teaching students to use eBook creation tools is to remember to chunk the learning of skills. If a teacher taught students how to embed video, upload pictures, utilize only 49 words per slide, how to include word art, etc. all in one lesson, students would be overwhelmed and the end product would not reflect students' abilities.
