Digital Video Recording by Students

The Clinic has started this semester having students use a Logitech webcam connected to a laptop to record a practice interviews/negiotations.  The students save their videos onto a flash drive and return the flash drive & the laptop/webcam to the professor.  The students at a later time, retrieve the flash drive (with videos & MediaNotes tags) and a headset, and on a lab computer,  they watch their videos and critique them using MediaNotes. (see photo below)

Is this the start of things to come?  Will other professors abandon the video tape and go digital???

BTW: We made the CALI spotlight:

                        

Friday Fun: Wordle

The Dean’s Welcome message from the Albany Law web site.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
