Screen Casting

 In this assignment I was asked to screencast a video of a project from the last module. In that module. I made 2 screencasts.  They are at the  end of this post.

Screencasts are a great way to get information across quickly.  During the pandemic distance teaching, I created screencasts of me marking work, so that students could use it to self-correct assignments and follow along with the work. I did this with the document camera and did the work with pencil and paper.  Kids and parents found this very useful. 

 I created short videos showing parents how to use different technologies, from how to create a PDF using a phone camera, to how to post work on Google.classroom. I could see this as useful for creating Pro-D that is accessible by staff at any time. 

I have also used the technology to create reviews of materials, including books or websites.

Did you find my videos on Scratch and Tinkercad useful? What is your favourite use of screen casting.

  1. Nice work on the tutorials. I like the way you are in there, in the corner. Definitely makes for a more personal touch. I personally eschew my own image in videos, but it works and creates a better tutorial, I think.
    I found the tinkercad one useful. I wish I had checked it out before I worked with it last module. I use it in a similar way. Like you, the pandemic forced me into it. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.
    Thanks for the post.

  2. I like using them for tutorials and diagrams. Students think I am a tech genius when I do that but really I'm average
