I love screencasts. I am a middle shool librarian and I use them all the time. I use them with my fifth grade IEP students when they are doing research. I find a website on their level and do a screencast of me reading it. At times I might highlight something on the screen or focus their attention to a particular part in the passage. It allows them to be more independent in their research.
ReplyDeleteI also use it to create "how-to" tutorials on using particular databases or websites for students to access.
Thanks for the comment Miss M. Great tool that I know we will be using more in our classroom the rest of the year. Sounds like you are doing great things in your classroom with screencasts.
