I've tinkered around with Panopto/GauchoCast in the past, but I've never actually incorporated it into my teaching, so I'm excited to give it a go for this class. I think I'm going to see about preparing a Powerpoint and feeding that into Panopto so that I can play around with the finished product, and maybe I'll deliberately include a part that I'll want to edit out in "post" so that I can try out the editing tools. In terms of my topic, I was thinking about reflecting on some of the technological hiccups my students and I ran into in our online Spanish 1 course from this past summer: fortunately, things usually went well and without trouble, but we did encounter a few issues that took some patience and creativity to work around.
What are you guys planning to talk about in your videos? Have any of you used Panopto/GauchoCast before?
I used GauchoCast this summer to record my intro bio lectures and post them to Gauchospace, this practice is pretty common among professors in my department. The downside is that it sort of enables students to skip class so I used low-stakes iClicker quizzes in an attempt to counteract that effect.
