OBS: Open Broadcaster Software

The first week of EDIS 5070, we were tasked with creating a introductory video targeted at our future classroom. I created mine using OBS, which is an open source video software used by many video creators, and twitch streamers.

Technology: OBS

Link to Proficiency: K Taylor Intro Video

Targeted Learners/Content area: Middle School Pre-Algebra

Lesson objectives: Give students a short introduction to their class and their instructor

Lesson context: This video would be posted on canvas on another LMS for students to watch at the beginning of the school year. Students would ideally watch this video before the first day of class to get to know me prior to the start, but also might watch the video for homework during the first few days of class.

Goal of technology use: I believe that creating an introduction video will allow students to get to know me a little before class starts. It would also allow me to spend more time in class getting to know the students and less time on introducing myself. I also want the video to get students to start thinking critically about essential questions that will be covered in my class.

Brief description of how technology will be used with students: The video I create is fairly teacher centric, but I foresee students needing to create videos to present their own work as well. Students could also make introductory videos to get more comfortable with using video creation software, so when they create videos about content later in the school year, they would be better prepared.
