I have tried to use the screencast-o-matic in my classroom. I had students create screen cast on various topics. One class did Acceleration. One class completed screen cast on the metric system. Many of my students did not choose to the complete the assignment. I created a rubric for the assignment. 25 points for each recquirement. Here is an example of one of the screen cast my students created. I did not inclued their grade. I will do this assignment again. I will have students create them in a computer lab, with microphones. I really wish my students had laptops to complete the assignment individually at home.

MY SAMPLE
I think the microphones in a computer lab is a good idea as it was a little hard to hear. I think this is a good project that gets the students talking about their work (i.e. acceleration).
ReplyDeleteI viewed your screencast a bunch of times to help me figure out how to create mine. You did a great job and obviously understand since you had your students create one. Keep up the good work!
