SMART Board as a video podcast studio

Just found this on Google Edu blog Infinite Thinking Machine

"Creating a video podcast for math class can help your students correct misconceptions, learn the language of math, and clarify thinking about mathematical concepts. ... Although these students created each episodes using the “record” feature of a Smartboard, you can also use a variety of Screen Capture software such as the free version of Camstudio. "


It's good option for some maths classes and not a bad way to save your regular SMART Board work for revision.

Here is the TEC presentation that has had a lot of hits lately. Some of our teachers were slightly offended when we watched it on our last PD meeting. Conclusions are very much based on North American data, but it certainly has some weight for us Down Under too. What do you think? Does it reflect our reality in Central Australia?
