I am using this video as an extension of an assignment that my students already do. In my technology class I have the students create a digital portfolio using weebly of all of the assignments that they do throughout the trimester. They have to include the 3 presentations that we did in class as well. I used to have the students screenshot each individual slide and then put each image into a slideshow on their website so it could be accessible online. That became extremely tedious. Last week I learned (with one of my students) that you can embed Google drive documents and prezi's into weebly by creating imbed codes with them. It is a little difficult to explain to each student so I decided that I would use what learned in week 4 and I would make 2 short videos to help them along the way. I can't think of any instructional outcomes that I can tie in to this. I feel like the creativity comes from the students creating the presentations throughout the year.  The factors that influence the success of this is the microphone. A good microphone is critical for making a screen cast. I have wasted a lot of time creating screen casts for my class that did not work out due to poor quality audio. Just recently I bought a USB microphone by Logitech and tried it out for my first time this week, it works really good. My thinking has changed this week because I chose to learn a new program for week four.  About a year ago a colleague gave me a program that they won at a conference called snag it. They were never going to use it so they gave it to me. I have been putting off learning how to use it because I have been using screencastomatic for a couple years. The new program worked very well, the quality of the video is good and editing was a breeze.
