Webcam Question

This week's post is in response to a question that I received recently about the best hardware to use for recording. Anyone who knows me will be able to guess my response: "It depends!"

• What's your budget?
• Are you recording, or live streaming?
• Where audio and video quality are concerned, is "good enough" going to be good enough?

The article below, from Tech & Learning, looks at a half dozen recommended webcams for educators and students. Notice that the author doesn't say, "This one is the best," but rather "best budget webcam," "best streaming webcam," "best lighting," etc. So think about what's important to you, and then take a look at the models recommended by Tech & Learning!

SPOILER ALERT - we'll be doing a "gadgets" LOL session in December - stay tuned for details!

During the Summer Base Camp Sessions, we had MANY requests to do more with Google Slides, from the basics of good presentations to more advanced topics.

For this first session, we will discuss "dos and don'ts" of presentation slides (whether its Google slides, Powerpoint, or any other slide presentation tool), AND provide you with tips and resources to put some Panache in your Presentation!
