Screencasting on a Budget

Screencasting is a way to capture what’s happening on your computer screen while allowing you to narrate with your voice. It’s a tool that’s become popular on many sites such as Khan Academy and Learn Zillion. It’s an incredible way to record tutorials for your students or check for understanding by having them create their own! Screencasting can become extremely expensive if you try to get all the best equipment.

For example, Salman Khan uses as Wacom Bamboo tablet ($79+) and Camtasia Studio ($299). Explain Everything would be one of my personal recommendations for an iPad screencasting app. ScreenChomp is a free screencasting tool.

Video in the Classroom

In fact, video has become so prolific that some colleges even include video submissions as part of their application process. As this media further matures, students may need to be able to express themselves as effectively through moving imagery as with the written word. Using video could be as simple as recording a student oral presentation for future review, or as elaborate as producing an original short film. Depending on the complexity of the project, consider these suggested steps for ensuring that your students create thoughtful final products that demonstrate their knowledge rather than pieces full of flash but potentially lacking in substance. One of the most complicated aspects of working with video is interpreting the various file formats that work with cameras as well as editing and publishing tools.

Salman Khan in 'Let's use video to reinvent education' (20 mins) describes the transformative way video can impact on teaching and learning and encourages teachers to consider the flipped classroom model where learners can digest lecture content at their pace and explore content more deeply during class time. See The Art of Educational videos by Macquarie University for the breadth of approaches to making effective videos.

Facilitating thinking and problem solving Shepard and Cooper (1982) and Mayer and Gallini (1990) made the connection between visual clues, the memory process, and the recall of new knowledge. Allam (2006) observes that the creative challenge of using moving images and sound to communicate a topic indeed engaging and insightful, but adds that it also enables students to acquire a range of transferable skills in addition to filmmaking itself.
