Sharing Learning with Screencasts
Innovative Ideas and Practices from ICCSD Educators
Many teachers have discovered how useful it can be to create screencasts for their students - whether it's a how-to video for citing sources, a review lesson for students who missed class, or an example of a successful assignment. But more and more teachers are now putting the screencasts in their students' hands!
Students Screencasting Across Grade Levels
K-6
7-8
Jenna Spiering and Seth Schroeder's 8th grade ELL American Studies class created screencasts of their Google Slides presentations in a unit about early colonial America. Focusing on the skill of paraphrasing, students created screencasts in lieu of giving a presentation in front of the class and then shared them to view each other's work. See an example here!
