A screen cast is an excellent way to record step by step how to do a task. If you wish you can include audio or use your webcam to include video in your presentation. As future reading specialists we will have to introduce teachers to the new web technologies and show how they can be integrated into teachers’ instructional practice.
Screencasts can add variety to our delivery by ensuring that our presentations make use of the technology. We can’t expect to get teachers on board if we use the same teacher directed lecture style and chalk and talk that result in disengaged and bored students.
We all know that teachers are a tough crowd to please so we need a varied repertoire in our presentation toolkit as future facilitators of professional development for our colleagues. If we can get them excited then they will want to try these tools and strategies in their classrooms.
Try and make your own how to video/tutorial using either screentoaster above or your choice of youtube, screenr or jing to name a few and let me know how it goes-It's easy and fun!
