Uses in the Classroom: Screencasting is a great way to give students step by step instructions on how to complete a task. I could use this tool to show students how to create a Word Document or a PowerPoint presentation. I could also use the tool to show them how to use different software such as Kidspiration or Inspiration.
Issues to Consider: When doing a ScreenCast it is important to speak slowly and clearly. Some students may otherwise have a hard time following along. It also would be beneficial to stop the Screencast at different points and discuss the instructions.
Copyright: The students need to be reminded to abide by copyright laws. The programs I used for my project were Screencast-O-Matic and Microsoft PowerPoint.
