Screen+recording+with+Quicktime

This is from an 'un-conference' that I presented in Hong Kong, but follow these simple instructions and you can do it too!

Please ask me if you want any examples of how I've used this with my classes so far - Alan

**__ Screen Recording With Quicktime __**

10.Publishing your movie to many different places is very easy – click the ‘arrow coming out of the sideways box’ button on the right hand side and you will get a list of place to publish to including you tube, facebook, itunes and others.
 * 1) Open quick time
 * 2) Click file – New screen recording
 * 3) Click on the down arrow and select ‘built in microphone.’
 * 4) Click the red button
 * 5) Click or drag and click and start recording.
 * 6) Click the stop button when you are finished.
 * 7) To ‘split the clip’, open a screen recording (or any movie (doesn’t have to be quicktime or a screen recording) and go to the point in the clip where you want to split, then click go to edit, “split clip.”
 * 8) To insert a clip from another movie, highlight the part of your clip //before// where you want to insert it and then click, edit, “insert clip after selection.”
 * 9) To trim your clip, highlight the part of the clip that you want to trim and click edit, “trim.”


 * Other features**

- If you want to flip your clip go to edit and then “flip horizontal” or “flip vertical.” - If you want to just take the audio from your clip so students can listen to it on headphones etc. go to file, export and then change the format to “audio only.” - And there are probably plenty more for you to discover!


 * Apps to make video tutorials with**

- Quicktime - Real Chalkboard - Lots of video tutorials are already online – Khan Academy etc.


 * Marking with screen recording?**

- Scanning the pdf – is this actually time saving?

Screencasting with Jing [| Edit][| 0] 0 [| 2][|…] =Screencasting in Education=

Jing is a free app for Mac or Windows PC that allows recording of activities that take place on screen as well as capturing voice input through the computer's in-built microphone. **There is some debate as to whether it is any better than the screen recorder that comes with Quicktime already installed on our computers. Regardless of this,** there is a great deal of potential for the combination of screen recording and voice capture in education.

Screencasting as a form of Assessment
Coupling the screencasting with the Interactive White Boards that we have adds an extra dimension to the already useful abilities that this software has. Writing on the IWB produces the same writing on screen which can be captured. This can be put into the hands of the students as a form of assessment that can be further used to instruct students in the future through embedding onto StudyWiz.
 * Ask a student to come write a summary on the IWB as a plenary activity.
 * Ask a student to come complete an example calculation or exercise on the IWB.

Whether or not the the IWB is used, this software can be given to the students as it is free of charge, requires no account set up and only takes moments to install. It is easy to use and comes with a 2 minute instruction exercise. After this the students can go away and create their own screencasts as an exercise or as a form of assessment. They can complete an activity on their own computer and record themselves doing it. They can view pages, videos or powerpoints whilst performing a voice-over, narrating their progress. The students could then upload to a gallery which the teacher has created on Studywiz.

Screencasting as a form of Assessment Feedback
Research has shown that feedback significantly improves learning. The problem with this is that it is often time-consuming and with a large class, it can subconsciously cause the feedback to be reduced thereby reducing the amount of learning that could take place.

The teacher can view an electronic version of their student's work (Word or PDF) and, whilst the screencasting software is running, the teacher can voice-over their assessment. The free version of Jing limits the recording to 5 minutes, which is often enough assessment time and often produces a greater volume of useful points than a simple written bullet point list at the end of their notebook. It is also possible to mark-up the student's work with comments whilst you go along - although this is not necessary and could slow things down. Simply highlighting and using the mouse cursor to point to things should be enough.

Students that miss a point can re-wind and view the assessment all over again.

This form of assessment is quick, informative, high-volume, high quality and high value. It is not useful for summative assessment or external moderation.

Screencasting as a form of Instruction
Instructional videos can be created by the teacher using this software. Coupled with the IWB, the software can potentially be used to record an entire lesson beforehand. Uploaded to Studywiz, the students can be asked to then preview the lesson. Other videos besides your own can also be used. Download videos from youtube or Khan Academy and make these available to the students.

Students who arrive already informed and instructed relieves time in class for discussion and practice rather than content delivery. This is termed in education as flipping your curriculum.
