Creating A Training Video for Staff Members

It recently occurred to me that it would be a great idea to create some training videos for the teachers at the school, so I recently created this video which is on creating an assignment in PowerTeacher Gradebook. I used ScreenFlow for OSX to record myself demonstrating the software and did a quick voice over using the built-in microphone on my iMac at home. I edited in iMovie, exported the final video, and uploaded it to Youtube.

Sometimes a teacher will be working on their grades when I’m not around or they’re doing it remotely from home. In these cases it could be very helpful for them to have a quick video to refer to. They can switch to 720 and see the video in full screen mode with high-quality. It’s very cool! I presented the video to the teachers and received some feedback on some topics to make future videos for. I’m glad I had this idea. Now the resource will always be available to the teachers to refer to and will be very helpful for any new staff as well.
