What tool did your group use to deliver the PD tutorial? Why?
We used iMovie to produce the tutorial because Emily who put the movie together because she was most familiar with that program. We put the tutorial together using clipart and Google Docs Presentation slides along with a screencast video. Jing was used to capture screenshots and screencasts. We used these tools because we had practiced using them during the class and thought that these products made the tutorial professional and easy to view. We uploaded the video to YouTube so that it would be easy for us to share, access, and embed into our blogs.
What did you learn during the development process of the final product?
I learned that having a picture of the end product was very helpful. We were pretty clear about who would be producing what product and how it would look in the tutorial. This made it smoother to put the end product together. We found it really important to keep in contact and be organized so we could all contribute our part. Having an outline, storyboard/script was a good resource to look at when I was working on my part of the tutorial (how to create a Facebook Page and Group) so I could see how long to make it and how to transition in and out of my section.
What would you do differently if you had to develop a similar product again?
If I was doing a similar project again I think we would make sure that we all either used Apple or Windows products or that we picked an online tool to produce the video. Emily, Tammy and Dave found that the Windows screencast and iMovie parts would not work together when trying to merge the parts. There were also a few features that we found we would have liked to include (like links) that the tools we used for the video production would not allow us to include. There are probably pro versions that have these features but I would definitely want to see what other free tools we could use.
I was impressed with the variety of tools your group used to create the tutorial: Jing, Word, iMovie and Windows Media Player=8-)Plus, it was great to hear that the storyboard played such an instrumental role in the development of this tutorial. I agree, it's best to have a picture in mind of what you want the end product to look like - it helps to keep information organized and in somewhat of a logical sequence, when working a project=8-).
