C4T Summary

The first blog post discusses interviewing tips and audio recording. In the video, there were five main tips: Make sure there is enough space on the recording device as well as battery power, search for a good location, use a microphone close to your voice and monitor as you go, don't talk over top of the interview, and keep to the point. These main points were quite helpful. They seem simple, but it is typically the simple things that we tend to forget.

The second blog post discusses how a teacher improves his students' writing with Jing, an online screencasting of "visual and aural feedback on their written work." The video shows step by step how the students learn through visual and aural communication instead of receiving a grade on paper with comments they don't fully understand. I only wish that I had this opportunity in high school. Not all efficient learning can be contributed to this method, but it certainly seems to work.
