Creating Tutorials

After several attempts at using Jing, I finally decided to take the easy road and try a simpler way to create a tutorial. My biggest obstacle with using technology in the classroom is time. It is very difficult to teach 2nd graders to use these new programs when there are 14 of them and only 1 of you...and I am one of the lucky ones. I only have 14 students in my classroom, whereas most teachers have at least 20! Learning how to create a tutorial was very beneficial. I decided to create a tutorial on how to create digital books, since this is what we are currently working on in my classroom. I would like to continue creating digital books, but it seems that this one has been very time consuming. I thought maybe if I could print the tutorial out for the computer lab teacher, she might be able to let the students work on digital books during our computer lab time. This would work out much better because each student would have his/her own computer. It is my goal to have each student create their own digital book by the end of the year. Hopefully, I will be able to post some of their books on my blog when they are complete. You can click on the icon below to view a tutorial on how to create your digital book. The template is also below.
