Light Traces. Physics Whiteboards - Home. Reverse and Improve Your Instruction with Screencasts: Lecture at home, practice at school. A few months ago, at the annual CETPA conference, I decided to attend a session entitled “Screencasting for Better Learning and Instruction.”
I had recently written a blog entry about screencasting where I discussed having students teach one another by creating screencasts (a video recording of your computer screen and your voice-over narration). I figured the session might give me some other ideas for student screencasts. So when AP Chemistry teacher Ramsey Musallam started talking about creating screencasts as a teacher, I let out quite a sigh — I’m a staunch advocate for getting technology out of the hands of teachers and into the hands of kids.

If you’re not interested in the details and just want some basic step-by-step how-to directions, check out this post. The center of any 21stcentury classroom has to be the interactive whiteboard. I used a Promethean ACTIVboard in my classroom for four years, and I don’t think I could go back to the days before it.
