3. Purpose
Why we use it
1. Have you ever thought on how the students really
understood your explanations in class?
2. What is the logical reasoning students are using when
solving exercises?
• Enduring understanding
• Mastering content
• Student communication

4. Theoretical Underpinnings
Where We Got the Idea
Create
Produce a
screencast
Analyze
Outline reviews/
summaries of
their
understanding
Apply
Demonstrate
knowledge by
role playing a
teacher

6. In a Nutshell
How it works
It is a white board in which you can:
• record your voice
• include drawings and photos from camera, album, Dropbox or the
web
• type text or handwrite
• scroll pages up and down for extra space
• share lessons via email, Facebook and twitter, links and QRcodes

7. “Suite” Solutions
Tools we use
EDUcreations Desmos

8. Tips & Tricks
1. Know the App
make sure to explore the basic
features of the app before
planning the activity
2. Give clear instructions
a. students need to know what
are your expectations as a final
product
b. give a recording time limit
range
3. Planning
make students plan before
recording
Not to DoTo Do
1. Not Giving clear instructions
give free recording time range will
make the projects very unequal for
different students
2. Don’t plan to use students
materials over the time as
examples
the screencast can’t be
downloaded, so if your student
deletes the video or the app, it
can’t be any longer used

9. In Action
This is how we do it
It all depends on the purpose of the screencast:
