What is Screencasting?
Student Examples
|
Screencasting can be used for capturing explanations, procedures, and thinking processes. In this example, the student is working with counting money for the first time and will be able to reflect on their learning and growth as they continue on with the unit.
|
This student is recording their levelled reading on Explain Everything. It allows the student to record, listen to themselves read, and assess their own skills and thinking. An added bonus is that it gives us a transparent assessment tool, too!
|
Screencasting can also be used to create polished presentations. This example is a product of inquiry and research in Social Studies, a presentation created on Keynote, and a recorded presentation on Explain Everything.
