Screencasting

Screencasting and screencasting tools have become very popular with teachers recently due to a rise in flipped classrooms and blended learning scenarios.  Although teacher-created screencasts have tremendous value, a student-created screencast is personally my favorite way to utilize this tool. Students can create screencasts to demonstrate their learning.  They  demonstrate their understanding of a topic by combining annotations, images and voice comments. Here are some screencast projects created by our fifth graders to demonstrate their understanding of cause and effect.  Thank you Mrs. Adametz for sharing!





 Some classroom assignments where you might find screencasting useful:

• science lab results

• report on research

• solve and explain math problems
• compare and contrast 
• oral descriptions
• how-to tutorials
• oral reading
• story retells

These screencast projects were made using the free version of Educreations.  What tools do you use to screencast?  Please share your ideas in the comments section below.
