Screencasting is an easy (and FREE) way of making recordings in your classroom. Whether your students create them as they do project-based learning or you create them as you blend your classroom, you’ll love these relevant ideas and free tools to take screencasting to your classroom.  Attendees will walk away with the following information and skills from this session:  1. What is screencasting?  2. What tools can my students use to create screencasts and what is the process?  3. What are some example ideas for student creations and teacher creations? A powerful tool for student engagement! Using free digital tools to create and share videos explaining critical concepts for your students. Students can explain their thinking in creative ways.

3. WHAT IS IT?
And why?
Screencasting (the act of
capturing drawing and
voice on a blank page)
and screen recording (the
act of capturing drawing
and voice on top of an
image or Web page) is
easy to do and creates a
powerful product for
students to learn from

4. AND WHY?
Recording what is
happening on your screen
can be a pretty useful tool
for educators who want
to create video tutorials
or presentations for their
classrooms, staff, parents,
community and many
teachers are using
screencasting tools in their
flipped classroom models.

5. AND WHY?

6. WHO IS DOING IT?
Blended & distance education programs because they
provide a sense of engagement between staff and
students without compromising the ability to access
learning materials online whenever and wherever it is
convenient. In other cases, staff have taken advantage
of screencasts to provide learning resources to local
students. For some students, the technology allows
them to learn in a more self-directed fashion, one
that suits their style and speed of learning.

7. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Making screencasts requires special software that captures
activity on a screen. Making a screencast is as simple as
pushing a “Record” button and then working with an
application you want to demonstrate. If a narrative is part of
the screencast, you speak into a microphone as you
manipulate the actions on the screen.

8. WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
Screencasts can also add a new dimension to embedded learning. Instead of
simply consult- ing a reference book to learn or refresh your memory about a
basic concept needed for work on a larger project, you might access a library of
screencasts and watch the one that addresses the con- cept at hand.
For both distant and local learners, a screencast puts the action of the
instructor’s computer on a screen right in front of the student, creating a “look
over my shoulder” effect similar to one-on-one instruction.

9. WHERE IS IT GOING?
Because the tools used to create screencasts are
straightforward and simple to use, they offer a new
avenue for individuals who need to share information
visually and aurally.This might be students in a course
who create tools to help others understand the material,
making instructors out of all the students in the class.

10. IMPLICATIONS FOR
TEACHING AND LEARNING?
Screencasts provide a simple means to extend rich
course content to distance students, students with
disabilities (who might have restricted access to
certain class sessions or presentations), and anyone
else who might benefit from the material but cannot
attend a presentation.

Applications you can run
inside your browser with a
dedicated user interface (Ex.
games, photo editors, video
players, etc.)
Think “bookmark” -- links to
the website.
Extensions are usually in
effect across all websites
(though some are site-
specific). You can get a better
idea of what extensions can
do by browsing the

21. CONNECT YOUR IOS
DEVICE TO YOUR MAC
Launch QuickTime and select File > New Movie
Recording from the menu bar. Alternatively, you can use
the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-N. This will
launch a new QuickTime window for video recording. By
default, QuickTime will activate your Mac’s built-in iSight
camera, but ignore that and find and click on the small
downward-facing triangle next to the record button. This
lets you select an alternate recording source, which now
includes your iPhone or iPad.
