Teacher-made videos and Screencast Software

By creating video content, teachers are preserving direct instruction or other teaching content which they can then use in a number of different ways. For example, a teacher-made video can be given to students for revision at anytime. It can also be assigned as "homework" for a flipped class lesson, which then frees time in class to focus on student practice and student-teacher interaction. Another option is to use the video in class as a model or focus of learning, much like a PowerPoint, but with the obvious advantage of being 'multi-media'

The four kinds of educational videos that we considered earlier are:

1. Talking Head

2. Narration

3. Role Play

4. Screencast

The following two videos are brief tutorials that introduce two of the free Screencast options available to students and teachers. You can get familiar with one of them when you make your group presentation video for our class.
