I used Screencast-O-Matic to make my video. It was VERY easy to use... just click record and talk! I didn't try any of the other sites for creating a screencast. I didn't want to use SMART because I'm on my home computer and didn't want to install anything that would slow my computer down. Perhaps if I was making these all at school, I'd use the SMART software.
I made a video about playing "Math Baseball." I think the kids could use this game to practice math facts. I could see making a variety of screencasts like this as guides for students to use.
I like how you demonstrated how to play a game for your students - you could post a video like that on your website for parents and students to access at home. And I like how you demonstrated what happens when you give a wrong answer. I've found that if I don't, I get some curious kids who purposely get things wrong! :)
ReplyDeleteLiked it! Good choice for a screencast! Good explanation. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like that you chose a fun, educational game to screencast-that way parents could watch to understand how they can help students at home. I also like that you gave a suggestion for what they can do at the end if they finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat video - very easy to follow. This would be perfect if you had a sub or to share with parents.
ReplyDeleteGood demonstration. I agree that it could be posted for ideas for parents to use at home as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - very easy to follow!
