I still have my iPad... and that's when it came to me. I've always enjoyed using Paper 53, I even have a stylus for it, but I have not used it for anything beyond sketching and note taking. However, there were a number of times where I shared my work with friends and family. Now I recognize its huge potential. I'm surprised I haven't viewed it as a classroom tool until now, being an art teacher myself.
Next, how do I screencast an iPad? To use Screencast-o-matic, I still needed the iPad screen to appear on my PC laptop. I figured out that I needed to use some kind of Airplay, through "Reflector" or "AirServer." Both didn't work on my Windows VISTA. (Yes, I told you it was old). Finally, I read up that I could take screen shots as an alternative, and paste them together in Windows Media Player, play it and screencast at the same time. This sounded and looked easy enough, except it wasn't. Getting all the shots was over 200 pictures! The next problem arose. How do I send all those photos from my iPad to my PC? Smart thing to do was probably to sync it... but of course, the newbie that I was, and never having done this, I tried iCloud. And that just took forever! In the end, the fastest way was with Dropbox. Phew!
After, putting all the images onto Windows Movie Maker, I started my screencast recording. My final problem that took me hours to figure out, with no solution, was the audio. My laptop microphone simply could not record sound properly, even if I plugged in my earphones that had a microphone, it still didn't improve the sound. I tried changing the volume sound in Systems. No luck. So hear you have it. As is. To the best that I could possibly make it, after 4 different recordings.
My goal, is with a Mac laptop, I could essentially produce a way better presentation of my App Smash. Hopefully, if you couldn't learn anything from my video, you could learn from my experience. The bottom line, stay updated with technology!
