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

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.

AND WHY?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SCREEN RECORDING/ MIRRORING

RECORD IOS ON YOUR MAC!

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.
