LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

In the classroom, screencasting is an opportunity for both educators and students:

• NARRATED PRESENTATIONS
• Students and Teachers create a slideshow or image, create a screencast while narrating the slideshow, and then 'present' the video to the class, or simply share it on YouTube
• STORYTELLING
• Tell a story by creating a document and reading it while taking a screencast and then posting the video
• VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS
• Teachers and students can prepare step-by-step instructions on how to do almost any computer process by recording their screen as they do it
