Screencasting

Screencasting is a video that explains ors shows a demonstration. I think screencast our a great piece of technology to use in a classroom. Some of the way that I will use it in my classroom is by giving students the option of giving a report out loud in front of the class or preparing a screencast instead. Also on my webpage I will have examples on how to solve homework problems. I will also have my students "act as the teacher" and have them explain how to solve problems and teach them to the rest of the class through screencasts.

Here are a couple website about using screen casting in a classroom.

@http://nancy-rubin.com/2012/01/05/flip-your-class-with-a-screencast/ This website has great ideas for how teachers can use screencasting in a classroom. I like the idea of posting screencast to a teachers webpage where students can view them to help with homework problems. I also like the idea of students making there own screencast. Teachers could give students the option of doing a report live in front of the class or prerecording a screencast. This could help students who are shy or do not like getting up in front of the whole class.

@http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK1MLWMbDOI I like how this video started out with explaining what a screencast was. Also I like how it is a great example of one as well. It gave idea for teacher to use and why the should use them in their classroom. It was a good video because it reminds teacher that they are teaching student who love technology and are exposed to it all the time, so why shouldn't they be using it in a classroom.
