ScreencastifyTech Tip Tuesday (October 8, 2024)

I can record my screen. Why?

Teachers can use Screencastify to create engaging video lessons for various purposes:


  • 🔄 🏫 Flipped classroom: Record lectures and explanations for students to watch before class.
  • ➕ 🏫 Supplementary material: Provide additional explanations or examples for complex topics
  • ❌ 🏫 Absent student support: Record lessons to keep absent students from falling behind.

Quick uses in the class

Elementary:

  • Math Tutorial: A teacher creates a screencast explaining how to solve a complex multiplication problem, demonstrating each step visually and providing clear verbal explanations.
  • Reading Comprehension: A reading teacher records a screencast of herself reading aloud a story, pausing to ask comprehension questions and model strategies for answering them.

Middle:

  • Science Experiment: A science teacher records a screencast of a lab experiment, explaining the procedure, demonstrating the steps, and discussing the results.
  • History Lecture: A history teacher creates a screencast of a lecture on a specific historical event, using visuals and audio to engage students and provide context.

High School:

  • Writing Workshop: A writing teacher records a screencast of a mini-lesson on a specific writing technique, providing examples and guiding students through the process.
  • Language Learning: A language teacher creates screencasts of dialogues or grammar explanations, allowing students to practice at their own pace.

These are just a few examples of how Screencastify can be used in K-12 classrooms. The possibilities are endless, and educators can tailor their screencasts to meet the specific needs and learning styles of their students.

Ever wondered how computers can understand our drawings? It's all thanks to machine learning. Just like in the game Google AI experiment Quick, Draw!, a neural network tries to guess what you're drawing. The more you play and the more data it processes, the smarter it becomes. This is just one example of how machine learning can be used in creative ways, from recognizing images to generating text. Imagine the possibilities!

Can a neural network learn to recognize doodles? See how well it does with your drawings and help teach it, just by playing.
