Why create a Screencast?
ScreenCasting

Screencasting is a digital recording of a computer screen most of the time with an audio narration, but can be without narration.  Screencasting allows for students to work at a just-in-time self-pace learning, with access 24/7.  These can be used for assessment review or to be view prior to attending class.  These screencast can be followed-up via email reflection or face to face questions as formative assessment, then further clarification can be done, if necessary.

 

Screencasting allows students to compose and publish digitally, this is a great way tool to  meet new expectations of CCSS, NET*S, and 21 century literacy demands.
