I know that this is going to surprise everyone, but I had trouble with Jing. I know me having trouble with something is a little unusual, but it's true. So I decide that I would do the tutorial using the print screen function. I started it Monday night at school. As I was going through taking the pictures of my screen I noticed that the version of power point at school and at home were very different. I think that this will make it difficult for some to follow my tutorial, because I used different version of power point to explain how to make a digital book. As I was doing this tutorial I thought that my kids could do this as writing project. They could tell others how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or how to solve a math problem. This would be something fun for them. I am going to try it in the up coming weeks to see how they do. I am not sure if this will work, but I want to try it.
I had orginal wanted to try to do a tutorial as a how to project. After reading Dr. Koppenhaver's post I believe that may not be as good as I once thought. I think that I could tie this tutorial in with my lessons though. I could allow my students to use the tutorial on how to solve certain math problems. I could see this being benefical, because the students would become the teacher and I think that recipricol teaching is a great way for students to learn.

I'd recommend they put together directions for things that they actually need to do/learn/accomplish, rather than the more traditional school topic of "making a peanut butter sandwich." If they put together directions for something they are expert in, e.g., or something they learn how to do, then they can share that expertise in a more meaningful way.
