Using Screen Recording to Capture Your Lesson

Screencasting is a quick and easy way to capture what you are teaching and provide just in time tutorials for students.  Students use these tutorials to review class content repeatedly to solidify their learning.  Students can also make their own screencasting tutorials to demonstrate their understanding of a concept.
Once the screencast is created it can be published in a variety of ways: SchoolTube, YouTube, Teacher website, Vimeo etc.

To create a screencast you will need some kind of software tool that records your screen.  Within FCPS the most common tools are:

  • ActivInspire - installed on every FCPS computer
  • Jing - approved.  Ask your Tech Coordinator to install the for you (http://jingproject.com) FREE
  • ScreenOMatic - does not require an installation, click the record button and begin your screencast.

You may also want an external microphone to enhance your sound quality.
A Promethean board and/or ActivSlate is a great additional tool for creating a screencast that has "writing".  For example, if you wanted to demonstrate how to solve a math problem you could capture your explanation using your PBoard or Slate pen.
