Simply put, UStream is a way to quickly and easily create audio and/or video recordings that are broadcast on your very own channel. I created a channel called "Zachervision" and figured out this morning how to embed my first video here on my blog (you can view it at the bottom of this post).
There are a number of ways to leverage this tool in the classroom:
- Have students create a commercial in class about the current subject being studied.
- Create a video lecture(s) for students to view in the event that inclement weather prohibits them from attending class for an extended period of time.
Once a video is created, it can be uploaded to sites such as Facebook, YouTube, or embedded in a blog (SEE BELOW).
