Hello! Welcome to my graduate program homestead on the web. I am Lance McGrath, an academic librarian and faculty member at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho. I am also a student in the Master of Educational Technology program at Boise State University.
For my first class, EDTECH 501, I created the following introduction video using a mash-up of PowerPoint, SnagIt, CyberLink YouCam and VideoPad video editor. PowerPoint was used to create the slides. I then used SnagIt to capture and narrate the PowerPoint in presentation mode. Next I used the CyberLink YouCam software with the integrated camera and microphone on an HP Pavilion dv6-6c13cl laptop to record live audio and video of myself. I used VideoPad to edit the various records into a seamless video and then laid in a soundtrack to provide some texture to the audio profile.
This video not only serves to introduce me. It also demonstrates that I have produced an artifact which aligns with AECT Development Standard 2.4: Integrated Technologies. Specifically, the high level of integration achieved in this video supports AECT Development indicators 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 (for details see Standard 2: Development in the AECT Standards).
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of assistance.
Peace,
Lance
