Screen Cast

 In this project the students would develop a screen cast teaching their parents how to use spelling city. Every Friday, my first graders have been going to the computer lab to practice going to the website and finding our class list to practice their words at home. Completing a screen cast is their chance to be the experts and teach someone else. Due to the fact that my class is so young I would gather as a whole class and list the steps together on chart paper. I would then type the steps out for each student to refer to. They would have to show me that they can successfully get to the our class list before they record their screen cast.  For my example, I recorded a screen cast teaching my students how to get to my Moodle page. I first tried to record my screen cast using screen castle. The website was easy to use but it took a very long time complete the project. I decided to then try to record the same screen cast using screencast-o-matic.I thought that this site was easier to use than screen castle and would have my students use this site.
