As a teacher who does most of his work online, it has been enormously helpful for me to utilize the full range of tools available to Mac and Chromebook users, such as making audio and video recordings, taking screenshots and screencasts, and editing and publishing videos online. These skills have allowed me to provide increased access to instruction and assessment, while offering students new ways to share their learning.
