Recorded Lesson Example

I recorded this example 6 years ago while providing teachers with iPad training. The lesson is recorded on the Educreations app. There are may apps like this available for tablets.

I'm sharing it as an demonstration of how you can provide direct instruction, including the target, success criteria, a demonstration, and an assignment. Watch the recorded seminar for more ideas about lesson design.

Reading With Expression | Educreations

Educreations is a community where anyone can teach what they know and learn what they don't. Our software turns any iPad or web browser into a recordable, interactive whiteboard, making it easy for teachers and experts to create engaging video lessons and share them on the web. Students can replay these lessons any time, any place, on any connected device. We're on a mission to dramatically improve student achievement by extending the reach of great teaching.
