RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
This is easily downloaded onto the computer and works well with a PowerPoint presentation. The recorder allows you to put a
box around the individual slide and start recording what you need to say about that slide and transitioning into the next slide is
not disruptive; simply hit the down arrow and it will allow you to keep talking and move on to the next slide. When you are done
it allows you to review and save.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
Given the information above, how would the technology integration you described, using the selected resource? (On the
“Value-Added Rating Scale” above)
Explain your rating based on the indicators on the rubric.
I would rate it a 1 on the scale. At the end of the day it is only a recording machine that can only be layered over a
PowerPoint, and here aren’t any tools that let you highlight as you are speaking. It is great for giving instructions, but the
information could easily be read in an email.
