Screencasts

Really great way for teachers to educate their students would be through the use of screencasts.  This will work really well with upper elementary all the way to college to demonstrate and elaborate on projects due in class.

Here is one of the free websites that people can use called screencast-o-matic.  This is a quick sample of how a teacher can use the screencast to demonstrate a Toondoo.  This tool is really easy to use and very user friendly.  It was fairly easy to save and get a link to my video.  The process was painless :)




Here is another tool used to create a screencast called Screenr.  This website is another easy to use web based screen recorder.  Just make sure your laptop or computer is equipped with a microphone if you wish to records any details you would like to add. 

This is an example of how teachers can demonstrate how to narrow searches when doing research.  Too many times, students are required to do some type of research and the Internet generates millions of responses.  The following is a way to limit the number of responses while obtaining just the information of what is sought. 






Out of the two, screencast-o-matic seemed to give me the least amount of problems.  I had an extremely hard time logging into Screenr to be able to save my screencast.  It was less tedious to use screencast-o-matic.  Two thumbs up.  Whoop.
