Strategy Sessions: Improving assessments with video-based presentationsLearningandTeaching
In this presentation, Tim Holland discusses the use of recording tools such as Screencast-O-Matic as a way to address the problem of having too many students presenting on the same day. In his communications unit this option is usually reserved for students who can’t attend class or who have psychological barriers to public speaking. Tim also reflects on the balanced assessment approach for video screen-captured presentations and in-class presentations and offers his evaluations of this application.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
